Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

Agrobiodiversity influence on pests and their natural enemies in agroecosystems
, 2011 Obviously vegetational diversity strongly influences insect diversity, a fact which is exploited in traditional polyculture farming systems; crop diversity in time and space reduces the incidence of insect pests.

Evaluation of life cycle assessment methodology for multiple agroecosystems
, 2021 Industrialized agricultural production of annual row crops, such as corn and soybeans, is a major contributor to several environmental problems, including climate change and eutrophication of waterways.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Carabid and staphylinid communities are shaped by adjacent habitat type, prey availability and landscape context, influencing natural pest control across agricultural landscapes. Abstract BACKGROUND The functioning of agroecosystems depends on key ecosystem processes that deliver ecosystem services, yet agricultural management has increasingly shifted ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Regional analysis of spatiotemporal trends in Colorado potato beetle abundance
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Leveraging a large data set on Colorado potato beetles in Wisconsin, we examine spatial and temporal abundance trends. Spatiotemporal statistical models substantially improve fit and show that climate and management factors are positively associated with abundance levels.

Biological Soil Crusts in Agroecosystems
, 2023 Biological soil crusts, or biocrusts, are communities of microorganisms that form on the surface of soils, often found in deserts around the world. However, they can also occur in agroecosystems and potentially contribute nutrients to plants growing ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Phenoxazinones caused differential types of phytotoxic effects in C. campestris early development. APO is a coherent lead inhibiting C. campestris germination and early seedling growth. Abstract BACKGROUND 2‐Amino‐3H‐phenoxazin‐3‐one (synonym: questiomycin A; abbreviated as APO or Phx‐3) is a naturally occurring phenoxazinone‐type allelochemical with ...
