📣 🪲 Check out this paper led by @tperrot.bsky.social, which provides a clear demonstration that the intensive use of pesticides can be more detrimental than beneficial for crop production due to their negative impacts on natural pest control.
🍇 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)

🔋 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
Grazing is a major land use in drylands with major impact on ecosystems
In a new paper, we found that plant diversity is key to increase ecosystem resistance to increasing grazing pressure. This effect is driven by complementarity in plant traits

Grazing affects plant diversity, but plant diversity in turn may modulate the effect of grazing on the plant community. This global analysis explores the association between plant species richness and...
