Buffer zones for biodiversity of plants and arthropods: is there a compromise on width?

Fig. 3.5. number of weed species per sample and the biodiversity index (Shannon’s H) plotted against distance to hedge for each buffer width. A: Shannon’s H at sampling run 1 (27 May – 12 June), B: Shannon’s H at sampling run 2 (6 – 16 july), C: Number of weed species at run 1left and D: Number of weed species at run 2.
