• Ecological impacts of arable intensification in Europe. (2001, background): “However, ground-nesting species such as this could be adversely affected by the frequent mechanical control of weeds in organic crops when the birds are nesting (Hansen et al., 2001).”
• Effects of integrated pest management, biological control and prophylactic use of insecticides on the management and sustainability of soybean (2011, background): “Organic farming has demonstrated environmental benefits at the farm level (Hansen et al., 2001) because it is based on four main principles of health, ecology, fairness, and care of the land (Anonymous, 2009), which increases the value of biological control treatments.”
• Agroecology, scaling and interdisciplinarity (2003, background): “Estimating consequences of conversion to organic farming is another subject where both ecological (Dalgaard et al., 1998), economic ( Hansen et al., 2001 ), and social driving forces (Trewavas, 2001) are relevant to include.”
• Soil Fauna Diversity - Function, Soil Degradation, Biological Indices, Soil Restoration (2012, background): “Furthermore differences in agricultural production systems, such as integrated, organic or conventional systems, have been demonstrated to affect soil fauna in terms of numbers and composition [37,38].”
• Regenerative, Semiclosed Systems: A Priority for Twenty-First-Century Agriculture (2007, background): “" Higher levels of soil organic matter and water in organic systems also produce more earthworms and microarthropods (Hanson et al. 2001).”
• Does organic farming reduce environmental impacts?--a meta-analysis of European research. (2012, background): “Some review studies have assessed the overall contribution of organic farming by combining the research from various impact categories (Gomiero et al., 2008; Hansen et al., 2001; Pimentel et al., 2005).”
• Soil Type Is the Primary Determinant of the Composition of the Total and Active Bacterial Communities in Arable Soils (2003, background): “The management of these soils may have a great impact upon the overall health of these communities, with organic and regenerative approaches being widely regarded as conferring a positive effect upon soil biology and thus encouraging a significantly higher level of biological activity due to crop ro”
