The farmland bird index (FBI) component shows that farmland bird populations have almost halved since 1970, and it is widely accepted that these declines have been driven agricultural intensification (14, 15). The UK government has set a public service agreement (PSA) target to reverse this long-term decline in farmland bird populations 2020. Narrowness of habitat selection in woodland and grassland birds.

The analysis was restricted to birds as there is little comparable autoecological data for other taxa.
