This book features four peer-reviewed reviews on the range of regenerative techniques used to enhance biodiversity. The first chapter reviews the benefits of field margins in enhancing biodiversity in agroecosystems by supporting plant diversity, increasing the abundance and diversity of beneficial insects, providing wildlife corridors and contributing to landscape heterogeneity. It also considers the design and management of field margins and their economic impacts. The second chapter explores the impact and management of hedgerows in promoting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. It also discusses the range of ecological processes and biodiversity in hedgerows, from hedge structure and woody species to ground flora and nutrient cycling. The third chapter considers the development of a cell-based spatial modelling approach to better understand the interactions between planned biodiversity and associated biodiversity within alley cropping systems. The chapter also assesses the implications for different management strategies to optimise associated biodiversity. The final chapter outlines the principles, benefits, and practical management strategies of multispecies swards. The chapter also highlights their importance in creating sustainable and resilient agricultural systems that meet both agronomic and environmental goals.
