Land-use impacts on crop yield: direct and indirect roles of arthropods and associated ecosystem services in European farmland - Landscape Ecology Context Land-use intensification to increase yields is often detrimental to biodiversity undermining the provision of ecosystem services. However, it is questionable if ecosystem service providers…

🌾 #FunProd ( #BiodivHealth) finds high-intensity farming raises yields but harms biodiversity. Bees boost rape pollination & yields, but predator-driven pest control is less clear. Ecological intensification needs tailored approaches.
