Rural Farmland Wild Flower Edging Near Wolverly

Rural farmland with field edging of wild flowers including red poppies on 7th August 2023 near Wolverly, United Kingdom. This is a now more common English landscape where agricultural fields have wild edges designed to attract and increase wildlife while reducing use of pesticides. In ecology, edge effects are changes in population or community structures that occur at the boundary of two or more habitats. Areas with small habitat fragments exhibit especially pronounced edge effects that may extend throughout the range. As the edge effects increase, the boundary habitat allows for greater biodiversity.
