Farmland abandonment is increasing worldwide. Concurrently, some conservationists view this as an opportunity for biodiversity restoration (i.e., rewilding). Due to a lack of data, however, it remains unclear whether farmland abandonment increases biodiversity in different farmland types and surrounding environments. Information is particularly scarce for Asia, home to one-third of identified biodiversity hotspots and where dominant farmlands (i.e., rice fields) are often viewed as substitutes for natural wetlands. We conducted the first meta-analysis of the impacts of rice-field abandonment on biodiversity, in which we considered multiscale factors, such as taxon surveyed, landscape context, and climate. Species richness and abundance after abandonment decreased to 56-72%. This reduced biodiversity was unlikely to recover, at least for plant species richness, even after 10-15 years. These results suggest rewilding will not necessarily be achieved by rice-field abandonment. Moreover, there was a pronounced biodiversity decline under dry conditions (e.g., low precipitation), especially for organisms closely associated with aquatic environment, such as amphibians and fish. Biodiversity reduction was least pronounced for birds and mammals. Such context dependency may suggest that impacts of farmland abandonment can be predicted by considering biological features of organisms and their associations with human-modified environments.

“…Within a few years after abandonment, annual plant species dominate the ecosystem (Kusumoto et al, 2005;Yamada et al, 2007), and wet fields support threatened species of aquatic weeds and invertebrates (Nishihara et al, 2006;Takanose et al, 2013;Yamada et al, 2007). Later, large perennial species such as Typha latifolia and Phragmites australis begin to grow (Kusumoto et al, 2005;Shimoda and Nakamoto, 2003).…”

A B S T R A C TFlooded rice fields can provide habitats for wetland species and ecosystem services similar to those of natural wetlands. During the last three decades, however, farming practices and management systems have been intensified in many rice-producing countries. In addition, more recent socioeconomic changes have caused agricultural abandonment in some parts of East and Southeast Asian countries such as Japan. This study reviewed long-term statistics on rice farming, as well as the impact of agricultural intensification and abandonment on farmland biodiversity at multiple spatial scales in Japan. The impact of pesticide use was greatest in the 1950s-1970s, when the use of highly toxic agents had not yet been prohibited. More recently, different components of agricultural intensification have been the largest threat for various taxa, for example, chemical pesticides for aquatic plants and invertebrates and modern efficient irrigation/ drainage systems for amphibians, fishes, and waterbirds. The negative impacts of agricultural abandonment on farmland species have been rapidly increasing with the expansion of abandoned fields and the subsequent vegetation succession and loss of habitat heterogeneity. We also discuss the effectiveness of environmentally friendly farming practices, including the reduced use of pesticides, winter paddy flooding, and installation of fishways, to reduce the negative impacts of agricultural intensification on farmland species in rice-paddy landscapes.

“…Human activities may change the response of vegetation to climate change through the transformation of land use types. For example, restoration of forest can be realized in habitat frangibility areas by the change of regional water cycles and construction of irrigation systems [58][59][60]. Expansion of agricultural, industrial, and urban areas will never stop since large numbers of the population need to be fed and their living standard will be advanced in the future on our planet [61][62][63][64].…”

A risk assessment of vegetation zone responses to climate change was conducted using the classical Holdridge life zone model on the Loess Plateau of Northwest China. The results show that there are currently ten vegetation zones occurring on the Loess Plateau , including alvar desert, alpine wet tundra, alpine rain tundra, boreal moist forest, boreal wet forest, cool temperate desert, cool temperate desert scrub, cool temperate steppe, cool temperate moist forest, warm temperate desert scrub, warm temperate thorn steppe, and warm temperate dry forest. Seventy years later (2070S), the alvar desert, the alpine wet tundra and the cool temperate desert will disappear, while warm temperate desert scrub and warm temperate thorn steppe will emerge. The area proportion of warm temperate dry forest will expand from 12.2% to 22.8%-37.2%, while that of cool temperate moist forest will decrease from 18.5% to 6.9%-9.5%. The area proportion of cool temperate steppe will decrease from 51.8% to 34.5%-51.6%. Our results suggest that future climate change will be conducive to the growth and expansion of forest zones on the Loess Plateau, which can provide valuable reference information for regional vegetation restoration planning and adaptive strategies in this region.
