🔋 The strongest positive responses to extensive management were found for :
• Carbon sequestration +37.8%
• Erosion control +26.4%
• Soil fertility +19.9%
• Pest regulation +16.4%
🌱 “Extensive” practices include permanent cover crops, organic farming, and reduced pesticide use — all contributing to benefit biodiversity & ecosystem services
🍇 Check out this meta-analysis led by Silvia Winter about the impacts of vineyard management and landscape context on biodiversity & ecosystem services. Overall, we found that extensive management increases biodiversity and ecosystem services. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
🌾 Overall, cover crop choice matters: diverse cover crop maximize ecosystem benefits, while herbicide-based management reduces them. 🏞️ Surrounding semi-natural habitats (grasslands, woodlots) amplify positive effects of local mgmt especially for natural pest control (Photo: S. Richart-Cervera)
