Short summary
Bird richness in rain-fed rice fields of Guinea-Bissau was influenced by field management and landscape structure. Tree cover and field width enhanced richness, but landscape composition and edge complexity had stronger effects. The findings highlight the importance of landscape-level planning alongside local habitat measures to support biodiversity and potentially ecosystem services in smallholder rice systems.
