The effects of crop diversity and crop type on biological diversity in agricultural landscapes: a systematic review protocol. [PDF]
Wellcome Open Res, 2019 Agricultural intensification is a well-known driver of biodiversity loss. Crop diversity and its changes over space and time drive land use intensity and impact biodiversity of agricultural landscapes, while meeting the growing demand for human food and nutrition resources.

Irrigation Increases Crop Species Diversity in Low-Diversity Farm Regions of Mexico
Agriculture, 2022 Although agricultural intensification generally has homogenizing effects on landscapes that reduce crop diversity, the specific effects of different input strategies on crop diversity are unclear.

Plants, 2021 Genebanks were established out of a recognised need not just to provide genetic variation to support breeding objectives but to prevent crop diversity from being lost entirely for future users. Such conservation objectives may have led, over the past few

Biocultural diversity and crop improvement [PDF]
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2023 Biocultural diversity is the ever-evolving and irreplaceable sum total of all living organisms inhabiting the Earth. It plays a significant role in sustainable productivity and ecosystem services that benefit humanity and is closely allied with human cultural diversity.

IITA’s genebank, cowpea diversity on farms, and farmers’ welfare in Nigeria
CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022 Background Cowpea or black-eyed pea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is one of the preferred food crops in Nigeria, as expressed in land area and production. The popularity of the crop is in part related to the successful development and adoption of improved ...

Genetic diversity in a crop metapopulation [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 The need to protect crop genetic resources has sparked a growing interest in the genetic diversity maintained in traditional farming systems worldwide. Although traditional seed management has been proposed as an important determinant of genetic diversity and structure in crops, no models exist that can adequately describe the genetic effects of seed ...
