Village modernization and reduced abundance of farmland birds: Why compensation for lost nesting sites may not be enough

Summary:( 2022), while generally agreeing that village modernization (VM) may be an overlooked driver of variation in farmland bird abundances, raise three issues of criticism: (1) an inappropriate space-for-time substitution was used for predicting declines, (2) the abundance of field nesting birds could be driven by a factor other than VM, and (3) our discussion of relevant EU programs for conservation measures targeted on rural buildings was too narrow. [...]we discussed possible reasons why field nester abundances may be related to VM. [...]we agree that there are other avenues of financial support for addressing rural housing renovations.
