Pollinator diversity, floral resources and semi-natural habitat, instead of honey bees and intensive agriculture, enhance pollination service to sweet cherry

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2019
Declines of pollinator diversity are causing concern about pollination service security for agriculture and natural ecosystems. Landscape composition has been found to regulate the diversity of pollinator communities and their corresponding pollination ...

Agricultural sustainability and intensive production practices

Nature, 2002
A doubling in global food demand projected for the next 50 years poses huge challenges for the sustainability both of food production and of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and the services they provide to society. Agriculturalists are the principal managers of global usable lands and will shape, perhaps irreversibly, the surface of the Earth in the

Ecologically intensive agriculture reduces bacterial communities simplification induced by intensive agriculture use.

2016
In the last few decades, classical farming practices depending on high agricultural inputs, such as nitrogen fertilizers and soil tillage have allowed sufficient food production. However, important ecological cost and a strong degradation of ecosystem services was observed in return.

POPULATION PRESSURE AND AGRICULTURAL INTENSITY∗

Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1977
A positive relationship between population pressure and agricultural intensity is fundamental to Boserup's thesis of agricultural growth and to several of its modifications. Correlation analysis reveals a strong positive association between the population densities and agricultural intensities of a sample of tropical subsistence agriculturalists; the ...
