Over the past 50 years, modern intensified agriculture has used new technology and mechanisation, changes in farming practices and operations and agrochemical inputs—weedicides, insecticides, and pesticides—to increase global food production.

Birds nesting in agricultural settings were significantly less likely to successfully raise their young during extreme heat events than birds nesting in forests under the same weather conditions, a new

As climate change intensifies extreme heat, farms are becoming less hospitable to nesting birds, a new study found. That could be another barrier to maintaining rapidly eroding biodiversity that also provides benefits to humans, including farmers who get free pest control when birds eat agricultural pests. Researchers who examined data on over 150,000 nesting attempts…

A recent study suggests that farms are becoming less hospitable to nesting birds. Read more here. A recent study indicates that birds nesting in agricultural environments are much less likely to successfully raise their young during extreme heat episodes than birds nesting in woods under the same weather circumstances.

Birds nesting in agricultural settings were significantly less likely to successfully raise their young during extreme heat events than birds nesting in forests under the same weather conditions, a new study finds. A study published in the journal Science on Thursday examined a database of decades of bird nesting attempts observed by citizen scientists.

Intense commercial farming is known to harm birds — fields completely clear of trees and other natural barriers lack shelter for wildlife, and pesticides and other agricultural chemicals can hurt
