Comparison of organic and conventional farms: challenging ecologists to make biodiversity functional (2008, background): “Agricultural intensification, including conventional use of pesticides, has resulted in biodiversity losses worldwide (Stoate et al. 2001; Butler et al. 2007).”
Large‐scale bioenergy from additional harvest of forest biomass is neither sustainable nor greenhouse gas neutral (2012, background): “For example, side-effects have been documented for the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union (Macdonald et al., 2000; Stoate et al., 2001), and forest-based bioenergy production would seem to be similar.”
Influence of landscape characteristics on carnivore diversity and abundance in Mediterranean farmland (2009, background): “Over the past decades, European agricultural landscapes have gone through a process of significant transformations associated with a period of intense and rapid economic and social changes (Vos and Meekes, 1999; Stoate et al., 2001; Jongman, 2002; Aranzabal et al., 2008).”
Intensification of agriculture, landscape composition and wild bee communities: a large scale study in four European countries. (2010, background): “, 2006), increased mechanisation and farm size, and simplified crop rotation (Stoate et al., 2001).”
Organic versus conventional systems in viticulture: Comparative effects on spiders and carabids in vineyards and adjacent forests (2015, background): “One of the major threats to farmland biodiversity is the simplification of landscape structure, with diminution of non-crop habitat deriving from the expansion of intensive arable crops (Benton et al., 2003; Stoate et al., 2001).”
Functional and numerical responses do not always indicate the most effective predator for biological control: an analysis of two predators in a two‐prey system (2002, background): “Situations where weak links arise are likely to be in food webs with low ecological diversity, such as in agricultural systems (Stoate et al. 2001).”
How landscape structure, land-use intensity and habitat diversity affect components of total arthropod diversity in agricultural landscapes (2007, neutral): “The originally diverse, highly structured landscapes have been converted into much more uniform areas consisting almost solely of intensively used agricultural units ( Stoate et al . 1991; Robinson & Sutherland 2002), which has coincided with a reduction of species diversity, as has been demonstrat”
Sown wildflower strips for insect conservation: a review (2011, background): “Habitat destruction, habitat deterioration by intensification and the consequential change of landscape patterns has caused the loss or decline of many species (Kruess & Tscharntke, 1994; Stoate et al., 2001; Jongman, 2002).”
Grassland diversity related to the Late Iron Age human population density (2007, background): “By contrast, areas more suitable for modern agriculture are distinguished by a higher density of rural population and more intensive land use, resulting in decreasing area and habitat quality of semi-natural grasslands (Stoate et al. 2001).”
