N2 - Small mammals are important in agricultural ecosystems. In a series of long term studies the relationship of different farming regimes, particularly the managemrnt and creation of margins and predator strips, to small mammal populations was investigated in the context of organic, integrated and conventional agricultural systems. Margins are dominant, especially in winter, although the margin-open field fluctuation over the year is less extreme in integrated and organic, rather than conventional regimes.
