Effects of Field and Landscape Scale Habitat on Insect and Bird Damage to Sunflowers

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
Agriculture-dominated landscapes harbor significantly diminished biodiversity. Woody vegetation along field margins can provide farmers with ecosystem services and benefit biodiversity. However, when crops are damaged by the biodiversity harbored in such
