Abstract

The appropriate management of natural riparian zones can provide numerous ecosystem services within an agricultural landscape, including the enhancement of regional biodiversity. Management of riparian zones has featured in Irish agri-environment schemes. We investigated the biodiversity of riparian field margins which had been fenced to provide water quality and biodiversity benefits. Surveys of plants, carabid beetles and spiders were conducted in typical habitat types that occur in riparian zones (grassland, scrub and woodland) on intensively-managed grassland systems in the south-east of Ireland.
