Agricoltura biologica e biodiversità – Impatto dei diversi sistemi agricoli sulla biodiversità
La biodiversità è parte integrante dei sistemi di agricoltura biologica, poiché la promozione della diversità delle specie nelle aziende agricole è parte integrante della produzione biologica. Attraverso pratiche come aree dedicate alla biodiversità, aree ad agricoltura estensiva e una gestione adattata al sito, le aziende agricole biologiche offrono più spazio e risorse per le diverse […]
Organic farming positively affects the vitality of passerine birds in agricultural landscapes
Conventional farming has been implicated in global biodiversity loss, with many farmland birds in decline. Organic farming is often considered a more ecological alternative since it generally hosts greater faunal diversity. To date, the impact of conventional agriculture on the decline in avian species has mainly been assessed through the lens of biodiversity loss; few studies have examined the […]
Farmland practices are driving bird population decline across Europe
Declines in European bird populations are reported for decades but the direct effect of major anthropogenic pressures on such declines remains unquantified. Causal relationships between pressures and bird population responses are difficult to identify as pressures interact at different spatial scales and responses vary among species. Here, we uncover direct relationships between population time-series of […]
