Herbivore and pollinator responses to grassland management intensity along experimental changes in plant species richness (2012, background): “Moderate mowing intensity can sometimes even enhance the blossom cover or elongate the blooming season through re-flowering (Noordijk et al., 2009), but it can also cause disturbance, fluctuation in resource availability and reductionof the structural complexity, depending on the temporal and spatia”
Enhancing floral resources for pollinators in productive agricultural grasslands (2014, background): “However, asynchrony in the sowing dates of different fields would compensate this problem to a large extent, and in the case mobile bees provide a continuity of legume resources at a landscape scale that could support their populations (Decourtye et al., 2010; Noordijk et al., 2009).”
Effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on the vertebrate and invertebrate diversity in the Pampas of Argentina (2011, background): “Researchers can play an important role in the future by providing a reliable picture of Pampean animal biodiversity, and by designing tools for stabilizing or, at least, minimizing, inevitable impacts on it (see e.g., Hopwood 2008; Noordijk et al. 2009; Cerezo et al. 2010).”
Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, background): “Road verge management guidelines also often include biodiversity aspects, and leaving uncut grass strips is expected to similarly benefit road verge invertebrates, especially when flail mowers are used, a technique that inflicts high fauna mortality (Hemmann et al., 1987; Humbert et al., 2009; Noord”
