本文回顾了英国树篱中除蝴蝶以外的无脊椎动物的生态和保护状况的现有信息。确定并讨论了影响无脊椎动物多样性和丰度的树篱的主要栖息地因素：植物组成、结构多样性和庇护所。景观结构也被证明是至关重要的。对当前管理问题的研究表明，无脊椎动物群落对树篱砍伐的反应尤其复杂，类群和一年中不同时间之间存在显着差异。树篱底部植被的质量受到直接管理和邻近土地利用的影响，对无脊椎动物也很重要。总体而言，关于树篱生物群这一重要元素的可靠数据缺乏，需要进行大规模的生态调查和进一步的科学研究。然而，存在许多保护机会，包括增加植物多样性、轮伐制度和综合田边管理。 (C) 2000 年学术出版社。
This paper reviews the available information on the ecology and conservation status of invertebrates, other than butterflies, in British hedgerows. The main habitat factors of hedges that influence invertebrate diversity and abundance are identified and discussed: botanical composition, structural diversity and shelter. Landscape structure is also shown to be critical. Examination of current management issues reveals that responses of invertebrate communities to hedge cutting in particular are complex, with significant differences between taxa and time of year. Quality of the hedge-bottom vegetation, as affected by both direct management and adjacent land use, is also important for invertebrates. Overall there is a paucity of reliable data on this important element of hedgerow biota, and a need for both large-scale ecological surveys and further scientific studies. However, a number of opportunities for conservation exist, including augmenting botanical diversity, rotational cutting regimes and integrated field-edge management. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
