The Netherlands is a stronghold for the breeding population of the black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa. Due to intensive mowing, survival of chicks is usually assumed to be very low. In a study in intensively exploited dairy farm grasslands the number of chicks fledged was about 0 3-0 6 per breeding pair, which is probably too low to maintain current population levels. Until the end of June, families...
Intensification of grassland management threatens grassland breeding waders such as lapwing Vanellus vanellus,black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa and redshank Tringa totanus in several European countries. Temperature sums (a measure of spring warming) are shown to be associated with hatching dates of two of the three studied species and with mowing. Because birds nested earlier in years with early...
