Policies for Ecological Intensification of Crop Production [PDF]
Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Ecological intensification aims to increase crop productivity by enhancing biodiversity and associated ecosystem services, while minimizing the use of synthetic inputs and cropland expansion. Policies to promote ecological intensification have emerged in different countries, but they are still scarce and vary widely across regions. Here, we propose ten

Moving towards the ecological intensification of tree plantations
Trends in Plant Science, 2022 The growing demand for timber and the boom in massive tree-planting programs could mean the spreading of mismanaged tree plantations worldwide. Here, we apply the concept of ecological intensification to forestry systems as a viable biodiversity-focused strategy that could be critical to develop productive, yet sustainable, tree plantations.

Ecological intensification of agriculture — sustainable by nature
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2014Strategies towards agricultural intensification differ on the definitions of sustainability and the variables included in its evaluation. Different notions of the qualifiers of intensification (ecological, sustainable, durable, etc.) need to be unpacked.

Ecological Intensification for Sustainable Development
2021The extent and quantity of natural resources (NRs) are going to degrade day by day due to overexploitation, misuse, unscientific management and some other anthropogenic deleterious activity in addition to climate change. NRs are nature’s properties that not only sustain life but also maintain ecosystem structure and its services to humankinds ...

Ecological impacts of arable intensification in Europe
Journal of Environmental Management, 2001Although arable landscapes have a long history, environmental problems have accelerated in recent decades. The effects of these changes are usually externalized, being greater for society as a whole than for the farms on which they operate, and incentives to correct them are therefore largely lacking.

Ecological intensification of agriculture in drylands
Journal of Arid Environments, 2019Abstract Drylands, which represent the world largest biome and support approximately 38% of the global human population, offer harsh climate and poor soil for agriculture. These environmental conditions are expected to get even harsher with climate change, challenging the potential to close the yield gap in these areas. In this short review, we focus

Forest Ecological Intensification
Trends in Plant Science, 2019Ecological intensification aims to counter-balance the negative impacts of agriculture intensification by promoting management interventions that maximize ecosystem services. However, the application of these principles to forestry is still pending. It is time for forestry to benefit from actively researching and implementing management policies based ...

Ecological degradation and agricultural intensification in the Andean highlands
Human Ecology, 1984Andean cultural ecologists have made two claims in recent years: ecological decomposition is absent due to effective indigenous management of communal resources, and agricultural intensification is inversely related to altitude. Drawing on material from the Jukumani Indians of Northern Potosi, Bolivia, these assertions are challenged.

Ecological intensification: harnessing ecosystem services for food security
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2013Rising demands for agricultural products will increase pressure to further intensify crop production, while negative environmental impacts have to be minimized. Ecological intensification entails the environmentally friendly replacement of anthropogenic inputs and/or enhancement of crop productivity, by including regulating and supporting ecosystem ...
