Tech/Engineering - Agriculture | | English term or phrase: skylark scrapes | Je cherche la bonne formulation pour cette expression dans une phrase telle que :
Creation of two skylark scrapes per hectare has been found to prolong the sky lark breeding season and increase the productivity of later nesting attempts.
C'est le terme scrapes qui me pose problème et je suis dans l'urgence. Merci pour vos suggestions. |

| | zones arasées sans cultures | Explanation:
the ground is scraped so the skylark can nest
"L’Alouette fait son nid au sol. L’intensification de l’agriculture, l’emploi de pesticides, la progression de la culture du maïs impliquant des travaux du sol et le semis en pleine période de reproduction de l’oiseau sont donc des facteurs importants dans la régression de cette espèce. En outre, une influence directe sur la nourriture de l’espèce se marque tant au cours de la nidification (insecticides) qu’en dehors de celle-ci (herbicides)."

"We saw a number of bird scrapes- nests of ground nesting birds that were evidently occupied."

"Experiments with skylark scrapes are now being carried out at the RSPBs Hope Farm and elsewhere. We hope that these unplanted patches away from tramlines will allow skylarks to nest successfully late in the season, and will therefore represent a simple way in which winter cereals can be managed to provide some of the beneficial features of spring crops."
