Ecological studies identifying a positive relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem
services motivate projections that higher plant diversity will increase services from …

Understanding the role of diversity in the functioning of ecosystems has important
implications for agriculture. Previous agricultural research has shown that crop rotation and …

Ecological theory suggests that biodiversity has a positive and stabilizing effect on the
delivery of ecosystem services. Yet, the impacts of increasing the diversity of cultivated crop …

Core Ideas Cover crop monocultures and mixtures support multiple ecosystem services.
Service interactions can lead to bundling, or co‐occurrence, of certain services. Service …

Agriculture comprises the largest global land use, makes it a leading cause of habitat loss. It
is therefore critical to identify how to best construct agricultural systems that can …

Recent studies have revealed many potential benefits of increasing plant diversity in natural
ecosystems, as well as in agroecosystems and production forests. Plant diversity potentially …

Species diversity can increase natural grasslands productivity but the effect of diversity in
agricultural systems is not well understood. Our objective was to measure the effects of …

We hypothesize that biological diversification across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales
maintains and regenerates the ecosystem services that provide critical inputs—such as …

Agricultural landscape homogenization has detrimental effects on biodiversity and key
ecosystem services. Increasing agricultural landscape heterogeneity by increasing …

To leverage agriculture's potential to better benefit both people and nature, policymakers
need clear messages about which farming practices positively impact biodiversity and …
