English Abstract

Some analyses were carried out using data of the monitoring project of the Osservatorio Faunistico Regionale. In areas with larger adoption of agri-environmental measures and in areas with larger adoption of organic farming, number of species and individuals were not significantly higher than in respective control areas. Galeri-da cristata and Phasianus colchicus were more abundant in areas with more agri- environmental measures, Hirundo rustica, Emberiza calandra and Cuculus canorus were more abundant in areas with more organic farming; Streptopelia turtur in areas with less organic farming.
