Context Agroecology combines agronomic and ecological concepts. It relies on the
enhancement of biodiversity and related ecosystem services to support agricultural …

For decades, we have observed a major biodiversity crisis impacting all taxa. Avian species
have been particularly well monitored over the long term, documenting their declines. In …

Agri-environmental schemes (AES) aim to restore biodiversity and biodiversity-mediated
ecosystem services in landscapes impoverished by modern agriculture. However, a …

Agricultural intensification has led to the conversion of natural habitats into agricultural
fields, increased field sizes and simplified crop rotations. The resulting homogenisation of …

Natural pest and weed regulation are essential for agricultural production, but the spatial
distribution of natural enemies within crop fields and its drivers are mostly unknown. Using …

The exponential development of wind energy raises concerns regarding its impacts on
airborne biodiversity. Evidence of wind turbine attraction and repulsion on bats, and …

The intensification of farming practices negatively impacts the provision of many non-food
ecosystem services (ES), including pollination, pest regulation and water quality regulation …

Conservation actions are urgently needed to tackle biodiversity loss in intensively managed
agricultural landscapes. Production lands are usually heterogeneous and contain low-yield …

Faced with the biodiversity extinction crisis and climate change, alternative approaches to
food production are urgently needed. Decades of chemical-based weed control have …

Meeting global food demand while reducing biodiversity loss will require strategies that
quantify and minimize conservation and production tradeoffs in agroecosystems. Ecological …
