Livelihoods on the edge: farming household income, food security and resilience in southwestern Madagascar
(2016-06-09)Southwestern Madagascar is not only one of the “hottest biodiversity hotspots” globally, but also a food insecurity hotspot with severe levels of poverty and undernourishment. Large parts of the regional forest have been ... -
Local and Landscape Effects on Arthropod Communities along an Arable-Urban Gradient
(2018-05-14)The increase and expansion of urbanisation and agriculture intensification has led to a decrease of natural habitats worldwide. Natural habitats offer resources such as food or nesting sites for different arthropod groups. ... -
Local and landscape management effects on syrphid fly guilds: flower strips, farming practice and hedges
(2013-02-26)During the last decades, agriculture has transformed into highly effective and economically optimized production systems with extended cultivation areas and increased usage of fertilizers and pesticides. This development ... -
Local and Landscape Management of Biological Pest Control in Oil Palm Plantations
(2016-06-14)Oil palm is the highest yielding vegetable oil crop per unit area and plantations expand at a rapid pace. Large-scale expansion of oil palm plantations, transformed from natural habitat, results in huge biodiversity losses. ... -
Local and landscape threats to bee and wasp populations in agricultural landscapes
(2023-12-01)The transformation and intensified use of the agricultural landscape in central Germany in the past decades has led to the fragmentation and loss of semi-natural habitats, threatening biodiversity including insects. Bees ... -
Local and large scale determinants of biodiversity in winter wheat fields
(2006-02-13)Factors acting at various scales may affect biodiversity, demanding analyses at multiple spatial scales to understand how community richness is determined. Here, a hierarchical approach was ... -
Local management and landscape context effects on bee pollination, ant seed predation, and yield in Indonesian homegardens
(2015-03-03)Tropical countries contribute substantially to global agricultural production, but the majority of farmers are small-scale subsistence farmers. Their comparably low agricultural productivity is coupled with major yield ... -
Long-term challenges in cereal and oilseed markets – case studies analyzed with model systems
(2023-02-10)Cereals and oilseeds are important agricultural crops which are globally produced, traded and consumed. They are the most important crops in terms of area used and output quantity in the agricultural crop sector. Therefore, ... -
