Biological Monitoring of the Organic Farming Scheme 2004

Summary:

This report summarises the results of baseline biological monitoring of farms in the Organic Farming Scheme. Baseline surveys form a ‘yardstick’ in terms of biodiversity and it is not until a re-survey has been completed that the effects of any management practices can be determined. These farms have only been managed organically for a short period and it may take many years before any benefits for biodiversity to become apparent.
