A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production

Matteo Dainese, +106 more
- 16 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: Using a global database from 89 studies (with 1475 locations), the relative importance of species richness, abundance, and dominance for pollination; biological pest control; and final yields in the context of ongoing land-use change is partitioned.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crop pests and predators exhibit inconsistent responses to surrounding landscape composition

Daniel S. Karp, +156 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the largest pest-control database of its kind shows that surrounding noncrop habitat does not consistently improve pest management, meaning habitat conservation may bolster production in some systems and depress yields in others.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interplay of landscape composition and configuration: new pathways to manage functional biodiversity and agroecosystem services across Europe

Emily A. Martin, +64 more
- 07 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: In landscapes with high edge density, 70% of pollinator and 44% of natural enemy species reached highest abundances and pollination and pest control improved 1.7- and 1.4-fold respectively, suggesting that enhancing edge density in European agroecosystems can promote functional biodiversity and yield-enhancing ecosystem services.

A global synthesis reveals biodiversity-mediated benefits for crop production

Matteo Dainese, +103 more
- 20 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: Using a global database from 89 crop systems, the relative importance of abundance and species richness for pollination, biological pest control and final yields in the context of on-going land-use change is partitioned.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aphids and their natural enemies are differently affected by habitat features at local and landscape scales

TL;DR: The results suggest higher densities of generalist predators with increasing PAL, Nonetheless, the greater abundance of coccinellids and carabid beetles in cereal fields embedded in simple landscapes does not nec- essarily imply better pest control since natural enemies may compete, thereby limiting their ability to con- trol pests.
