#EcologicalIntensification

Farmer workshop key msg: while 50% practice #EcologicalIntensification (EI) without any incentives, 100% would be willing to adopt EI if given the right training & support. How do we get #policy & #business to incentivise EI to boost #biodiversity & #livelihoods? 🌏 @uniofreading.bsky.social

EI management at different spatial scales, from the field scale to the multiple-field scale to the landscape scale.

Ecological intensification measures in a multitrophic context.

Oksana Y Buzhdygan reviewed previous studies, investigated how research on #MultitrophicEffects of #Biodiversity on #EcosystemFunctioning could advance the application of #EcologicalIntensification measures in agriculture and forestry.

Diagrammatic representation of management options, trade-offs in terms of the costs and benefits of implementing those options, and the potential outcomes for EI at a range of scales (Patch, Field and Landscape).

Rob W Brooker et al. reviewed how #Biodiversity, particularly #VascularPlantDiversity, could regulate ecosystem processes relevant to #EcologicalIntensification at multiple spatial scales.

Conceptual framework for key factors and mechanisms explaining the enhanced ecosystem functions and ecological intensification through coculturing rice with animals.

Zi-Jun Ji et al. showed that #Rice–aquaticAnimalCocultures can promote #EcologicalIntensification, and exploiting #InterspecificFacilitation and #NicheComplementarity are the ecological mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of coculture.

Ecological intensification of agriculture through biodiversity management: introduction A major feature of humans is that they can attain much higher population densities than any non-domestic animal species of similar body size (Damuth 1987).

Bernhard Schmid reviewed and synthesized the new work about #BiodiversityEffects in #Agroecosystems and its use in #EcologicalIntensification of agriculture.
