Genetic aspects<br />
Genetic diversity in farm species<br />
(from ELISA project – EnvironmentaL Indicators for Sustainable<br />
Agriculture)<br />
Certain categories of plant species used by farmers show larger<br />
genetic diversity.<br />
There are specific combinations of crop species that show higher or<br />
lower genetic diversity.<br />
Knowing where areas characterised by low genetic diversity occurs<br />
gives a gross indirect indication of agricultural areas in which the<br />
farming system is intensive and the use of agro-chemicals is high.<br />

Crop diversity<br />
Cultivation methods of each crop vary so that a multitude of<br />
crops provides a multitude of habitats for species. A high value<br />
of the index is likely to describe positive impacts on the<br />
environment.<br />
High number of crops in an agricultural landscape guarantee an<br />
equivalent of different cultivation methods. Corresponding to both an<br />
increase of different living conditions for species is provided. Vice versa<br />
for crop rotations limit the number of habitats for wildlife species and<br />
demand higher inputs of mineral fertilisers and pesticides.<br />

Crop diversity can be calculated in different ways:<br />
• Sum of different crops in a landscape unit (in this case a cell 1 km * 1<br />
km)<br />
•Simpson’s Diversity Index<br />
P i<br />
= proportion of the landscape occupied by patch type (class) i, based on total landscape area (A)<br />
excluding any internal background present.<br />
SIDI = 0 when the landscape contains only 1 patch (i.e., no diversity). SIDI approaches 1 as the<br />
number of different patch types (i.e., patch richness, PR) increases and the proportional<br />
distribution of area among patch types becomes more equitable.<br />
• Shannon’s Diversity Index<br />
SHDI = 0 when the landscape contains only 1 patch (i.e., no diversity). SHDI increases as the<br />
number of different patch types (i.e., patch richness, PR) increases and/or the proportional<br />
distribution of area among patch types becomes more equitable.<br />

Indicateur intégré de diversité de culture (SOLAGRO 2005)<br />
The index represents crop variety with a "biodiversity weight"<br />
Each crop scores 1 when the area covered exceeds 10% of the UAA<br />
Pastures/grasslands score 1 point per each tenth of the UAA covered<br />
This is a first attempt to relate the CAPRI-derived indicator to the<br />
original one, which is calculated on the basis of farm statistics (all<br />
farms in France) per commune<br />

High Nature Value farmland (HNV) are<br />
those defined as ‘areas in Europe where<br />
agriculture is a major (usually the<br />
dominant) land use and where that<br />
agriculture supports or is associated with<br />
either a high species and habitat diversity<br />
or the presence of species of European<br />
conservation concern or both’<br />
