B.N. Elmiger ; B.N. Elmiger ; R. Finger ; J. Ghazoul ; S. Schaub |CONTEXT Many agricultural policies target the conservation of biodiversity worldwide. Result-based agri-environmental schemes can be more effective and efficient than the more commonly used action-based schemes. The efficiency of result-based sc[...]

Article
C. Castellano ; D. Bruno ; F.A. Comin ; J.M. Rey Benayas ; A. Masip ; J.J. Jiménez |Riparian forests nestled in agricultural landscapes represent a small proportion in crop-intensive areas, while contributing remarkably to their biodiversity. This biodiversity supports several ecological processes crucially involved in the supp[...]
Article
The intensification, extensification and abandonment of agricultural land will each play a major role in the future development of European landscapes. However, their impacts on various dimensions of sustainability vary spatially. This creates c[...]
Article
M. Carof ; O. Godinot ; E. Le Cadre |Biodiversity-based cropping systems are an interesting option to address the many challenges that agriculture faces. However, benefits of these systems should not obscure the fact that creating biodiversity-based cropping systems represents a ma[...]
Article
Agriculture is a major driver of change with manifold impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services. As social-ecological systems, agricultural landscapes result from the intertwined interaction between farmers and nature, and contribute to sev[...]
Article
R. Morgado ; P.F. Ribeiro ; J.L. Santos ; F. Rego ; P. Beja ; F. Moreira |Over the last 30 years, olive farming has experienced a fast and large-scale intensification process across its Mediterranean range, that is reshaping Mediterranean farmland landscapes with associated impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem servic[...]
Article
Specialization and intensification in agriculture have increased productivity but have also led to the spread of monocultural systems, simplifying production but reducing genetic diversity. The purpose of this study was to propose crop diversifi[...]
Article

Attinger ; C. von Haaren |Water provision and distribution are subject to conflicts between users worldwide, with agriculture as a major driver of discords. Water sensitive ecosystems and their services are often impaired by man-made water shortage. Nevertheless, they ar[...]
Article
Preservation and promotion of agroforestry systems entails the ideology for more ecosystem services, additional biodiversity benefits and climate change mitigation. Furthermore, farmland and forest landscapes and the consequent benefits to the e[...]
Article
Global scenario-based modelling efforts to support biodiversity policies typically consider agriculture only as a pressure factor. Current scenarios typically include the expansion of protected areas combined with higher agricultural productivit[...]

Barron |Pastoral systems face increasing pressure from competing global markets, food sector industrialization, and new policies such as Europe’s post-2020 Common Agriculture Policy. This pressure threatens the use of extensive sheep-grazing systems in [...]
Article
Spain is the country with the most biosphere reserves (BRs) in the world. The aim of this paper is to investigate why BRs have come to proliferate to such a degree in Spain and why there is a gap between UNESCO’s framework and the practicalities[...]
Article
Agricultural intensification tends to maximize provisioning services at the expense of regulating, cultural and supporting ecosystem services (ES). Enhancing agroecosystem sustainability requires both individual and collective solutions, but the[...]

Siniscalco ; S. Bonelli |Since climate change impacts are already occurring, urgent adaptive actions are necessary to avoid the worst damages. Regional authorities play an important role in adaptation, but they have few binding guidelines to carry out strategies and pla[...]
Article
F. Nocente ; E. Galassi ; F. Taddei ; C. Natale ; L. Gazza |Through the centuries, the domestication and modern breeding of wheat led to a significant loss of genetic variation in the cultivated gene pool with a consequent decrease in food diversity. Current trends towards low-input and sustainable agric[...]

A. Scuderi ; L. Sturiale ; G. Timpanaro ; A. Matarazzo ; S. Zingale ; P. Guarnaccia |For several decades, studies and conventions have highlighted the importance of the ecosystem services provided by natural resources and biodiversity for humanity and the need to move their management towards a sustainable model. Inthe United Na[...]

Chain, RDP Veneto Region) aiming to improve the competitiveness of local sheep breed farms through valorization of their links with mountain agroecosystems. We considered two local sheep breeds of the[...]
Article
Increasing the levels of ecosystem services that contribute to agricultural production (ES) is a challenge for the sustainability of agricultural systems. Agricultural advisors lack low-data operational approaches for assessing ES and knowledge [...]
