Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Potts explores how mankind and partridges have evolved together, both ultimately dependent on grasslands rather than forests. For thousands of years, both ate grass seeds and this continued until cereals largely replaced them. Hundreds of species of plant and insect that partridges and ot…her birds eat thrived on farms for thousands of years until the dawn of the pesticides era. Since then the long decline in partridge abundance has been a barometer for biodiversity over vast swathes of the Northern Hemisphere. Highlighting the positive example of the Norfolk Estate in the Sussex Study area, Potts investigates how both Grey and Red-legged Partridge numbers have been increased, flourishing in a highly productive and profitable system of farming and an oasis in what has often looked and sounded like a desert. In a small corner of England farmland wildlife is able to thrive much as it did before pesticides were introduced. This is a complex and fascinating story. The way that hunting, farming, predation, parasites, disease and climate change have interacted tells us a lot about how lesser known species have fared and how they can be conserved for the future. Potts stresses the importance of these conservation efforts, as farmers respond to the needs of an extra three billion people worldwide, not just for food but for bio-fuels. Additionally, the pressures on farmland wildlife will further intensify in the coming years.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Removable protective cover fitted. Hardcover. English. Pub Year 1986, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> The Partridge Book by G. R. Potts aims to provide an in-depth understanding of partrid…ge ecology and to promote conservation methods that can help mitigate the significant decline of this species. Once abundant, with over 120 million individuals across various countries up until the 1960s, the partridge population has now fallen to fewer than 20 million, with shooting practices ceasing in many areas. This decline has been extensively studied, particularly because the partridge is a popular target for sports hunting.The book examines the primary reasons behind the partridge's decline, notably the detrimental impact of pesticides. The use of herbicides and insecticides has significantly diminished the availability of insect food for chicks, leading to widespread starvation. However, the author posits that partridge numbers can be restored by implementing pesticide-free margins in cereal fields, which requires only a minor reduction of 4% in pesticide usage.Pesticides pose a threat to numerous species, but the case of the partridge illustrates the indirect consequences these chemicals can have on wildlife. It serves as a concerning indication of the potential impacts on many less-researched species. The insights presented are not only valuable to ecologists, game conservationists, and naturalists, but also to farmers and planners of future agricultural landscapes. The text highlights the urgent need to regulate cereal yields and reduce grain surpluses, while suggesting that current pesticide practices may not be sustainable for agricultural ecosystems in the long run. The book offers practical approaches to limiting pesticide use, providing a framework for conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices.

Globally, there are at least 45 species of game bird that have the word partridge in their name, but in this book G. R. Potts devotes himself to the Grey, Red-legged and Chukar Partridges, with particular emphasis on the Grey Partridge due to its well-known decline in Britain. In this groundbreaking addition to the New Naturalist series, Potts explores how mankind and partridges have evolved together, both ultimately dependent on grasslands rather than forests. For thousands of years, both ate grass seeds and this continued until cereals largely replaced them. Hundreds of species of plant and insect that partridges and other birds eat thrived on farms for thousands of years until the dawn of the pesticides era. Since then the long decline in partridge abundance has been a barometer for biodiversity over vast swathes of the Northern Hemisphere. Highlighting the positive example of the Norfolk Estate in the Sussex Study area, Potts investigates how both Grey and Red-legged Partridge numbers have been increased, flourishing in a highly productive and profitable system of farming and an oasis in what has often looked and sounded like a desert. In a small corner of England farmland wildlife is able to thrive much as it did before pesticides were introduced. This is a complex and fascinating story, with a heady mix of hunting, farming, predation, parasites, disease and climate change. The way these factors have interacted tells us a lot about how lesser known species have fared and how they can be conserved for the future. Potts stresses the importance of these conservation efforts, as farmers respond to the needs of an extra three billion people worldwide, not just for food but for bio-fuels.
