Facilitation and biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships in crop production systems and their role in sustainable farming (2021, background): “…associated with simplification of farming systems, which is evident in the widespread growing of a small range of crop species, typically in genetically identical stands of a single crop variety (Newton et al., 2009), and a reliance on only a very small amount of the plant biodiversity available.”
Implications of climate change for diseases, crop yields and food security (2011, background): “intelligently in agricultural systems to confer resilience at appropriate scales (Newton et al. 2009).”
Managing the ecology of foliar pathogens: ecological tolerance in crops (2010, background): “The complexity and heterogeneity of multiple organism interactions builds resilience into host and microbial communities leading to enhanced crop function (Newton et al., 2009).”
Climate change, plant diseases and food security: an overview (2011, background): “Essentially this describes functional diversity at a range of scales (Newton et al., 2009).”
Climate Change Effects on Insects: Implications for Crop Protection and Food Security (2014, background): “Biodiversity plays an important role in the relative abundance of insect pests and their natural enemies, and there is a need to increase functional diversity in agroecosystems vulnerable to climate change to improve system resilience and decrease the extent of losses caused by insect pests (Newton ”
Cereal landraces for sustainable agriculture. A review (2010, background): “However, a single genotype must express greater trait plasticity to compensate for its inability to exploit heterogeneity in spatial and temporal dimensions as flexibly as multiple genotypes (Newton et al., 2009).”
