Organic Agriculture, Food Security, and the Environment (2018, background): “Agricultural intensification and homogenization of landscapes have significantly contributed to biodiversity loss (Bengtsson et al. 2005, Halberg 2012).”

Comparative analysis of environmental impacts of agricultural production systems, agricultural input efficiency, and food choice (2017, background): “It is, however, possible that the comparative environmental impacts of organic and conventional systems might differ at a regional, national, or global scale (e.g. Bengtsson et al 2005 and Phalan et al 2011).”
Evidence that organic farming promotes pest control (2018, background): “The positive effect of organic farming on biological control potential that we found indicates that the enhanced abundance and diversity of natural enemies in organic fields that has previously been observed 15–18 probably result in the provision of higher levels of biological control services.”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Environmental Change Biocultural Refugia: Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production (2013, background): “Different stages of succession and dynamic landscape mosaics provided terrestrial and aquatic habitat for a vast array of domesticated and nondomesticated species (Bengtsson et al. 2003, 2005, Emanuelsson 2010).”
Residues of currently used pesticides in soils and earthworms: A silent threat? (2021, background): “However, it is widely recognized that these habitats favor the presence of beneficial organisms in agricultural landscapes (Bengtsson et al., 2005; Geiger et al., 2010) by playing an important role as a refuge and source of recolonization following pesticide application (EFSA Scientific Committee,…”
Decline and potential recovery of the European grey partridge (Perdix perdix) population—a review (2009, background): “Especially, organic farming in intensive large-scale agricultural areas seems to lead to positive effects of wildlife (Bengtsson et al. 2005).”
Facing up to the paradigm of ecological intensification in agronomy: Revisiting methods, concepts and knowledge (2011, methodology): “This approach has been less systematically applied in other areas of 598 research, such as ecology (e.g., Arnqvist & Wooster, 1995; Cardinaleet al., 2006), and has 599 sometimes been applied inagriculture (e.g. Bengtsson et al., 2005), animal science (Sauvant et 600 al.”
