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

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 …

A biodiversity-based paradigm for sustainable agriculture is a potential solution for many of
the problems associated with intensive, high input agriculture, and for greater resilience to …

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 …

Resilience The capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and retain structure and function;
this includes the human capacity to anticipate and plan for the future (eg, in managing …

Abstract Diversified Farming (DF) Systems aim to integrate ecological and economic
benefits for sustainable agriculture. DF systems can enhance ecological benefits at the farm …

Balancing productivity, profitability, and environmental health is a key challenge for
agricultural sustainability. Most crop production systems in the United States are …

Few studies have addressed the relationship between genetic diversity and provision of
ecosystem services in agroecosystems. In this review, we argue that the contribution of …

Abstract Large-scale, energy-intensive, specialized production systems have dominated
agricultural production in the United States for the past half-century. Although highly …

Conservation agricultural systems rely on three principles to enhance ecosystem
services:(1) minimizing soil disturbance,(2) maximizing soil surface cover and (3) stimulating …
