2. Arable Stewardship Scheme - UK CHM
- www.chm.org.uk
- Arable Stewardship Scheme.
- A pilot Government scheme run in two areas of England between 1998 and 2000, offering payments to arable farmers to manage their land in a way which benefited wildlife.
- The pilot scheme was designed to test whether certain arable farming methods could help to recreate and enhance wildlife habitats in arable areas and thereby contribute to the conservation of bird, mammal and insect species associated with arable habitats. It was designed to achieve these benefits whilst recognising the practicalities of commercial arable farming.
- Arable Stewardship aimed to:.
- Encourage the establishment of a range of declining arable plants. ...
- Cropped arable fields being left as stubble over the winter following harvest. ...
- Grass field margins around arable fields. ...
- Sowing of wildlife seed mixtures within arable fields. ...
- Following the economic and ecological evaluation of the pilot scheme, a suite of new arable options were incorporated into the main agriculture/environment management scheme operating in England.

4. PRC Arable Land Jumps Forty Percent

- PRC Arable Land Jumps 40 Percent .
- Summary: According to an internal PRC State Land Bureau estimate, the PRC has forty percent more arable land than the official State Statistical Bureau (SSB) estimate of 93 million hectares. ... Improved technology such as LANDSAT satellite photography has made it much easier for the State Land Bureau to come up with an estimate of China’s total arable land than for the SSB to come up with local numbers that will add up to that total. ... A Chinese agronomist told Embassy Environment, Science and Technology Officer that the higher arable land figures, combined with steady increases in productivity owing to improved plant varieties and family planning, will enable China to meet its food needs when the PRC population peaks at an estimated 1. ...
- According to conversations Embassy Beijing Environment, Science and Technology Officer (ESTOFF) had with four Chinese scientists and a recent book, estimates on arable land by the PRC State Land Bureau Guojia Tudi Ju, now part of the newly-established Ministry of Land and Resources exceed the widely quoted official State Statistical Bureau estimate by forty percent. ... The scientists said that the actual amount of arable land is probably over 2 billion mu 134 million hectares . Once scientist told ESTOFF that the sudden jump in the arable land estimate will make year-on-year comparisons more difficult.
- While there is growing consensus that China’s arable land now totals 130 million hectares, there have reportedly been difficulties in adjusting China’s statistical series for planted area by province and by crop to reflect the increased planted area. Provincial officials appear reluctant to increase their provincial figures for arable land because it would increase their tax base. On a recent trip to Southern China, an Embassy Beijing agricultural attache asked provincial officials how their figures would be affected by higher national figures for arable land. ...
- These adjustments cannot be done until there is a consensus on where the additional 40 million hectares of arable land are located. ...
- The State Statistical Bureau arable land estimate is based on reports from local governments throughout China. ...
- According to the estimate of the 1996 National Land Use Survey Quanguo tudi diaocha zhuangkuang diaocha , China’s arable land totals 2. ...
- Last year, according to the agronomist, the Minister of Agriculture said that that the arable land figure was much higher than the Statistical Bureau figure but he was not allowed to give out the figure. ... The English-language China Daily on April 29, 1998 used the new figures, stating in a report that “China has 130 million acres of arable land, nearly ten percent of the world’s total”. Theretofore Chinese press reports had typically claimed that China has seven percent of the world’s arable land.

6. B&BC BAP - Arable Field Margins Habitat Action Plan
- www.wildlifetrust.org.uk
- Arable Field Margins and Beetle Banks.
- Arable fields.
- For the purposes of this Action Plan "arable field margin" refers to strips of land lying between arable crops and the field boundary, and extending for a limited distance into the crop, which are deliberately managed to create conditions which benefit key farmland species. "Beetle banks" are strips of land lying across arable fields (particularly valuable in larger fields), that are uncultivated, managed the same way as arable field margins, but are not adjacent to a field boundary.
- Grass margins (also known as wildlife strips, arable margins or headlands) are usually 2 or 6 metres wide, but are even more valuable when much wider. ...
- The crop margin is cultivated as part of the field, but pesticides and fertilisers are reduced or ideally not applied at all to this margin, allowing arable annual plants and invertebrates to prosper. If rare arable annuals such as corn marigold occur in the field margin then a grass margin isn't appropriate, a crop margin should be used alone. ...
- Hedgerows and arable fields themselves are covered under separate action plans. ...
- Arable field margins produce low crop yields, and due to current grants available could be managed for wildlife at little or no economic cost. The current resource of "wildlife-friendly" arable field margin in Birmingham and the Black Country is close to zero (6. ...
- Arable field margins as described in this plan could provide nesting and feeding sites for grey partridge, barn owl and some passerines. ... Even excluding soil invertebrates, micro-organisms and transients, some 2,000 species of invertebrate are commonly found in arable fields. ...
- Even more dependent on arable field margins are the rare arable annual flowers that occur in the crop margin. Arable wild flowers are of conservation concern because of enormous national declines in their distribution and abundance. Overall, some 300 species of plants can occur in arable fields. Also in decline are the invertebrates that depend on these arable "weeds", and the animals that feed on them such as grey partridge.
