Originally just to separate fields, but they proved very resistant to horsemen and cavalry. - And also to Allied soldiers in the Battle of Normandy in WW2
Hedgerows provided the Germans with tactical advantages during World War II, particularly in defensive operations. They offered natural barriers that concealed troops and equipment, enabling effective ambushes and making it difficult for advancing forces to maneuver. Additionally, these dense vegetation lines helped in controlling sightlines and provided cover from air and artillery attacks. Overall, hedgerows contributed to the Germans' ability to hold positions and counter enemy advances on the battlefield.
Monoculture, the agricultural practice of growing a single crop species over a wide area, often leads to the destruction of hedgerows, which are vital for biodiversity and ecosystem health. The removal of these natural barriers can result in habitat loss for various species, decreased soil fertility, and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Additionally, the absence of hedgerows can exacerbate soil erosion and water runoff, negatively impacting surrounding environments. Overall, this practice undermines agricultural resilience and ecological balance.
Since Roman times, the farmers of Normandy have bordered their fields with hedgerows. Small lanes and roads run alongside these hedgerows.http://www.jodavidsmeyer.com/combat/military/hedgerow.html
Dust has no function; it simply exists.
Colonial legislators saw their primary function as?
Hedgerows are good because they give a home for wildlife Hedgerows are bad because it takes up space where we could use for farmland

They are NOT bad they are good.
The Normandy Hedgerows are huge mounds of dirt with vegetation all over and on it. They were originated actually by the Romans. Their purpose was to keep cattle in and to mark territories. Hope this helps!
well well well HOW AM I SUPPOST TO KNOW
It can cost Farmers money and can eat up all his profit. Also cutting hedges can take hours and it needs to be done by a professional hedge cutter
Some carnivores that live in hedgerows include foxes, weasels, and stoats. These animals primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and insects found in hedgerow habitats.

Cutting hedgerows decreases the plant based biomass. This harms the ability of the Earth to rid itself of carbon dioxide. It also decreases the ability of the planet to increase oxygen.
Removing hedgerows can lead to a loss of biodiversity as these habitats provide food and shelter for various wildlife species. It can also result in increased soil erosion and reduced water quality due to the loss of natural barriers that help hold soil and filter water. Additionally, hedgerows play a role in carbon sequestration, so their removal can contribute to climate change.
