How do Changes in Land Use Patterns Affect Species Diversity? an Approach for Optimizing Landscape Configuration [PDF]
Heterogeneity of agricultural landscapes is supposed to be of significant importance for species diversity in agroecosystems (Weibull et al. 2003). Thus it is necessary to account for structural aspects of landscapes in land management decision processes.

Oikos, EarlyView.The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture
Polymer International, EarlyView.Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...
