| In Switzerland, parallel to agri-environmental measures which apply directly to the field management, farmers had to convert at least 7% of their land to ecological compensation areas – ECA. Major ECA are extensified grassland, traditional orchards, hedges, and wild flower strips. In 2000, the situation shows that farmers practise the agri-environmental scheme all over Switzerland with a total of 120,000 hectares of different types of ECA. The introduction of ECA throughout the country's agricultural area can be seen as a large scale landscape restoration experiment. Its biological effects are evaluated in a monitoring programme. In a case study area of about 6 km2, in 1997, biodiversity indicators (spiders, carabid beetle and butterflies) were recorded... |

| Die Fauna Indicativa charakterisiert in Tabellenform ökologische Präferenzen und biologische Eigenschaften aller in der Schweiz einheimischen Libellen-, Heuschrecken-, Laufkäfer- und Tagfalterarten. Die Angaben für Präferenzen und Eigenschaften werden meist als Zahlen angegeben und entweder als skalierte Werte oder als Ja-Nein Entscheide aufgeführt. Weitere Kennzeichen sind als Buchstaben festgelegt. Die Angaben gelten spezifisch für Populationen in der Schweiz und beruhen meist auf Literaturangaben und Einschätzungen von Experten. Die Fauna Indicativa ist ein Werkzeug für die ökologische Auswertung faunistischer Daten. Die in ihr enthaltenen Informationen können eine Grundlage für die Erarbeitung von Indikatoren für Monitorings darstellen. Mit diesem... |

| In ecological cross compliance, farmers have to meet environmental standards in order to qualify for area-related direct payments. Because this is a strong financial incentive, cross compliance is a potentially powerful policy instrument. We monitored the effectiveness of cross compliance in promoting biodiversity on grassland and on arable land in Switzerland over 8 years. We observed measurable benefits for flora, butterflies, ground beetles, and spiders, in terms of species numbers and/or community composition. However, populations of threatened species showed no signs of benefit. While cross compliance has been in force in Switzerland for almost a decade, it has only recently been introduced in the neighbouring European Union. We argue that – provided... |
