Different semi‐natural habitats occur on farmland, and it is the vegetation's traits and
structure that subsequently determine their ability to support natural enemies and their …

Semi-natural habitats are integral to most agricultural areas and have the potential to
support ecosystem services, especially biological control and pollination by supplying …

Conservation biological control (CBC) is a sustainable approach to pest management that
can contribute to a reduction in pesticide use as part of an Integrated Pest Management …

In agricultural landscapes, arthropods provide essential ecosystem services such as
biological pest control and pollination. Intensified crop management practices and …

Wildflower strips (WFS) are increasingly commonly adopted measures to promote
biodiversity in agro-ecosystems. While their effectiveness in providing floral and other food …

Insect predators and parasitoids act as biological pest control agents in agro-ecosystems,
and thus provide valuable ecosystem services. These natural enemies of pest species often …

In north western Europe, agricultural systems are generally managed to maximize the
potential delivery of provisioning ecosystem services. This has often been at the expense of …

Agricultural intensification reduces the biodiversity of European farmlands. Hay meadows
represent an important farmland habitat, traditionally used to produce hay. With decreased …

Flower strips are commonly recommended to boost biodiversity and multiple ecosystem
services (eg, pollination and pest control) on farmland. However, significant knowledge gaps …
