Flavia Geiger,Jan Bengtsson,Frank Berendse,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Mark C. Emmerson,Manuel B. Morales,Piotr Ceryngier,Jaan Liira,Teja Tscharntke,Camilla Winqvist,Sönke Eggers,Riccardo Bommarco,Tomas Pärt,Vincent Bretagnolle,Manuel Plantegenest,Lars W.

TL;DR: Of the 13 components of intensification the authors measured, use of insecticides and fungicides had consistent negative effects on biodiversity, and organic farming and other agri-environment schemes aiming to mitigate the negative effects are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural intensification and biodiversity partitioning in European landscapes comparing plants, carabids, and birds
Andreas Flohre,Christina Fischer,Tsipe Aavik,Jan Bengtsson,Frank Berendse,Riccardo Bommarco,Piotr Ceryngier,Lars W. Clement,Christopher Dennis,Sönke Eggers,Mark C. Emmerson,Flavia Geiger,Irene Guerrero,Violetta Hawro,Pablo Inchausti,Jaan Liira,Manuel B. Morales,Juan J. Oñate,Tomas Pärt,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Camilla Winqvist,Carsten Thies,Teja Tscharntke +22 more
TL;DR: Local AI was closely correlated to beta diversity on larger scales up to the farm and region level, and thereby was an indicator of farm- and region-wide biodiversity losses, and in contrast to expectations, AI does not necessarily homogenize local communities, presumably due to the heterogeneity of farming practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed effects of organic farming and landscape complexity on farmland biodiversity and biological control potential across Europe
Camilla Winqvist,Jan Bengtsson,Tsipe Aavik,Frank Berendse,Lars W. Clement,Sönke Eggers,Christina Fischer,Andreas Flohre,Flavia Geiger,Jaan Liira,Tomas Pärt,Carsten Thies,Teja Tscharntke,Wolfgang W. Weisser,Riccardo Bommarco +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how the species richness and abundance of wild plants, ground beetles and breeding birds, and the biological control potential of the area, were affected by organic and conventional farming, and how these effects were modified by landscape complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hibernation of predatory arthropods in semi-natural habitats
TL;DR: It is indicated that herbaceous non-crop habitats are important refugia for predators and may play a vital role in conservation biological control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of ground-nesting farmland birds to agricultural intensification across Europe: Landscape and field level management factors
Irene Guerrero,Manuel B. Morales,Juan J. Oñate,Flavia Geiger,Frank Berendse,Geert R. de Snoo,Sönke Eggers,Tomas Pärt,Jan Bengtsson,Lars W. Clement,Wolfgang W. Weisser,A. Olszewski,Piotr Ceryngier,Violetta Hawro,Jaan Liira,Tsipe Aavik,Christina Fischer,Andreas Flohre,Teja Tscharntke +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the response of ground-nesting farmland birds to the multivariate process of agricultural intensification in six European countries covering a bio-geographical and intensification gradient.
