TL;DR: This study provides large-scale, multitrophic, cross-regional evidence that increasing crop heterogeneity can be an effective way to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes without taking land out of agricultural production.

TL;DR: This study provided a formal framework to help policy makers identify landscape configurations that most benefit plant conservation policies and low-input farming practices at the edge of the arable fields in complex landscapes are expected to be the best cost-effective methods for enhancing RAP.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative effects of compositional and configurational crop heterogeneity on within-field plant diversity components were investigated using a dataset from a cross-continent collaborative project covering 1,451 agricultural fields within 432 landscapes in Europe and Canada.

TL;DR: A response-effect trait framework is used to characterize the impact of agricultural intensification on two ecosystem services delivered by arable plants to pollinator and non-pollinator insects and birds and incorporation into decision-making processes may help to focus conservation efforts on maintaining the delivery of ecosystem services.

TL;DR: This study shows that traits are determined by agricultural intensification, and no further details on field position and habitat variability are needed to promote vegetation types with trait syndromes able to support pollinating insects.
