Multi-functional landscapes in semi arid environments: implications for biodiversity and ecosystem services (2010, background): “In addition to these, user demanded information tools need to be developed and, strategic support provided along with policy coordination ( Scherr and McNeely 2008 ).”
Trends and future potential of payment for ecosystem services to alleviate rural poverty in developing countries. (2010, background): “Finally, research and extension can help low-income land stewards identify management practices that provide ecosystem services while maintaining flows of ecosystem goods such as timber or agricultural products (Scherr and McNeely 2008).”
Participatory Scenario Planning for Protected Areas Management under the Ecosystem Services Framework: the Doñana Social-Ecological System in Southwestern Spain (2011, background): “For example, surrounding lands of protected areas where agriculture is the main economic activity, could be converted to ecoagriculture landscapes (Scherr and McNeely 2008).”
Review on Concepts in Biological Control of Plant Pathogens (2014, neutral): “A number of different terms have been used to imply greater sustainability in some agricultural systems than others, including eco-agriculture (Scherr and McNeely, 2008), ecological agriculture (Magdoff, 2007), and low input agriculture (Pretty, 2008).”
Agroecology territories: places for sustainable agricultural and food systems and biodiversity conservation (2016, background): “A second example is the ecoagriculture landscape approach (Scherr and McNeely 2008), which proposes managing landscapes for both production and conservation.”
Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review (2016, background): “Many pestmanagement studies have highlighted that adapted management strategies at multiple levels are needed to greatly reduce pesticide use (Mediene et al. 2011; Rusch et al. 2012; Scherr and McNeely 2008).”
Landscape connectivity, habitat structure and activity of bat guilds in farmland-dominated matrices (2013, neutral): “The effectiveness of AES has been controversially discussed (e.g. Kleijn et al. 2001; Kleijn & Sutherland 2003; Whittingham 2006), which led to improvements that aim not only at increasing size but also quality of compensation areas.”
Annual intercrops: an alternative pathway for sustainable agriculture. (2011, background): “On-farm biodiversity, if correctly assembled in time and space, can lead to agroecosystems capable of maintaining their own soil fertility, regulating natural protection against pests, and sustaining productivity (Thrupp, 2002; Scherr and McNeely, 2008).”
Enhancing eco-efficiency in agro-ecosystems through soil carbon sequestration. (2010, background): “An optimal level of the SOC pool, which enhances soil biodiversity, is also sustained by eco-agriculture (Scherr and McNeely, 2008).”
