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

Fig. 3.13. Average numbers of a) Araneae b) Hemiptera and C) Coleoptera caught per sample in hedgerow trees in buffer widths 0, 4, 6, 12 and 24 m. Overall, arthropod densities differed significantly between the hedgerow trees. (note: Hassel = Hazel, Hyld = Elderberry, Rose = Rose, Slåen = blackthorn, Tjørn = Hawthorn)
