Introduction
Rye and oats were very important crops before World War II. But they have now almost vanished and the area under silage maize has increased hugely.
Many arable weeds have become rare, and many bird species that nest on fields or on the edges of fields have declined, including the corn bunting and ortolan bunting. The common hamster, which lives in cereal fields, has almost disappeared.
