A quantitative review of abundance-based species distribution models

Conor Waldock et al.

Summary: The contributions of species to ecosystem functions or services depend on their presence and local abundance, but current predictive spatial models focus more on species occurrence rather than abundance. The study found significant variation in the performance of abundance-based models, with random forests providing the best predictions in certain scenarios.

Population trends of common breeding birds in Germany 1990-2018

Johannes Kamp et al.

Summary: Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for prioritizing research and evaluating conservation measures. The analysis of German bird monitoring data revealed significant declines in farmland birds, while wetland bird populations increased. Migratory birds showed more negative trends compared to resident species.

A farming systems approach to linking agricultural policies with biodiversity and ecosystem services

Jose L. Santos et al.

Summary: Many countries are reshaping agricultural policies to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services in farmlands, but measuring the effectiveness of policy instruments is challenging. Using the European Agricultural Policy as an example, applying a farming systems approach can help link policy design and expected outcomes. By identifying farms with similar management practices and their associations with potential outcomes, this approach can improve modeled outputs of farm management responses to policies and other drivers of change.

Beyond organic farming - harnessing biodiversity-friendly landscapes

Teja Tscharntke et al.

Summary: Organic farming is not the only alternative for harnessing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Successful agricultural measures such as diversifying crops and reducing field size are crucial for enhancing biodiversity. Creating a landscape level mosaic of natural habitat patches and crop diversification is key for promoting large-scale biodiversity in both conventional and organic agriculture.
