Hedges and field margins are important wildlife habitats and deliver a range of ecosystem services, and their value is increasingly recognized by ecologists. This book reviews and assesses the current state of research on hedgerows and associated field margins.

John W. Dover is Emeritus Professor of Ecology at Staffordshire University, UK. He has a particular interest in the ecology of butterflies on farmed land, especially in relation to hedges, green lanes, and extensive grassland. He also has an interest in the urban environment and is the author of Green Infrastructure: Incorporating Plants and Enhancing Biodiversity in Buildings and Urban Environments (Routledge, 2015).
