Sammanfattning

By analysis of a national field polygon database, it was found that about one fourth of Sweden’s
cropland (fields >10 ha considered) is within 20 m of a field edge. In 16 observation transects
bordering forest or other fields, it was found that winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yields were
significantly smaller in field margins compared with field interiors. Effect sizes were larger along
woody vegetation; yields were about 2 t/ha smaller at 8 m from the edge compared with at 26 m from
the edge. It was concluded that field margins deserve special attention in site-specific management.
