However, in UK birds and plants are less diverse in areas dominated by Miscanthus, an exotic
grass originated in Southeast Asia used for biomass production,than on short rotation coppice (SRC),willow or poplar (Rowe et al., 2009). Semere and Slater (2007) also detected that ground flora, small mammals and most birds were more abundant in ecotone areas (i.e. crop boundary areas) than within Miscanthus fields, suggesting the importance of maintaining spatially heterogeneous agricultural landscapes. However, Bellamy et al. (2009) showed that in UK, when compared with other field crops (e.g. wheat),Miscanthus fields supported a higher abundance and diversity of birds, probably due to better shelter provided by this crop.
