Summary
A recent study highlights the potential of poplar plantations to enhance functional connectivity for birds inhabiting fragmented agricultural landscapes.
The effectiveness of these plantations largely depends on their strategic placement within the environment.
Bird species that possess moderate to high dispersal capacities are expected to benefit the most from this approach.
