Improving ecosystem services in farmlands: beginning of a long-term ecological study with restored flower-rich grasslands

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2022
Biodiversity declines in an unprecedented way, mostly due to land use change. Restoration interventions proved to be one of the most effective tools to halt the decline, especially in ecosystems such as agricultural fields.

Ecosystem Services Becoming Political: How Ecological Processes Shape Local Resource-Management Networks

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
While a landscape usually provides a wide range of benefits, the ecological and spatial entanglement of the processes behind ecosystem services does not allow maximizing benefits from all services at the same time.

Citizen science and invasive alien species: An analysis of citizen science initiatives using information and communications technology (ICT) to collect invasive alien species observations

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Owing to the huge number of species observations that can be collected by non-professional scientists, “citizen science” has great potential to contribute to scientific knowledge on invasive alien species (IAS). Citizen science has existed for centuries,

Complex drought patterns robustly explain global yield loss for major crops

Scientific Reports, 2022
Multi-purpose crops as maize, rice, soybean, and wheat are key in the debate concerning food, land, water and energy security and sustainability. While strong evidence exists on the effects of climate variability on the production of these crops, so far ...
