Nature encouraaging Management practices on allotment gardens
pest control
prohibition of pesticide use by 93% of allotment gardeners (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
positively affect abundance and diversity of insectivorous birds
bird provisioning features
winter feeding by 28% of allotment holders (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
main targets of winter feeding was small birds e.g. Blue Tit and Great Tit
but other birds also benefited
Managers in cemeteries and allotment gardens (27%; Survey A–D) provided birds with food, birdbaths, and nesting boxes.
(Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
soil
soil tillage unique on allotments compared to cementries and urban parks
? research potential as a management practice to benefit biodiversity ?
important ecosystem services (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007) to
links between management practice and enhancing ES
pollination services
increasing % coverage of flowering plants can sig increase bee abundance (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
All carried out on allotment sites (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
allotment gardens had sig more species of bumble beee-visited flowering plants than cemetries and parks
allotment gardens, and their associated management practices and their underlying social structures are favourable for growth f ban bumble bee pops (and related pollination services within city)
enhancing pollinator habitat found to be beneficial for pollinators (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
prolonged flowering season (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
active choice of plant species to attract pollinators (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
pollination enhancing practices on allotments
desire of allotment gardeners to have colourful flowers
(Andersson and Barthel et al 2007) -> increased flower richness and flowering period length
i did find this in my research
45% allotment gardeners intentionally plant flowers with sole intent to attract pollinators (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
growing willow (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
important food source for early-flying bumble bee species (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
provision and active protection of nests (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
in relation to other urban greenspace
management practices that protect small birds or enhance bird habitat largely absent in city parks (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
Practices linked to pollinating insects were found to be rare in cemeteries and parks, but common in allotment gardens (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
allotment gardens shown to have widest range of management practices that offer protection and improved habitat, compared to cemetries and urban parks (Andersson and Barthel et al 2007)
strong sense of place in allotment gardens found to have a strong influence in diversity of management practices
history of allotment gardens
allotment gardens originate from a social movemeent that souhgt to improve worker's health conditions in beginnign of 1900s, having its ealiest roots in Germany and Britain (Creating incentives for increased pub engagement in ecosystem management through urban commons)
1918
Allotment gardens provided British with 2,000,000 tonnes of vegetables (Select Comittee 1998)
effectiveness of nature provisioning features

'More species of amphibians, birds, and mammals were observed in gardens with ponds and in which efforts were made to attract wildlife, particularly by providing drinking water.'

More species of amphibians, birds, and mammals were observed in gardens with ponds and in which efforts were made to attract wildlife, particularly by providing drinking water. This study supports the hypothesis that garden use and management is associated with garden characteristics.
