An analysis is presented of the relationships between the form of grazing land or pasture—a form that is expressed by its architecture in the ecosystem—and the dynamics of discharge in the pasture used by cattle. The objective of searching and demonstrating relationships of this nature is to esta...
Modern restructuring of agricultural landscapes, due to the expansion of monocultures and the resulting elimination of non-crop habitat, is routinely blamed for rising populations of agricultural insect pests. However, landscape studies demonstrating a positive correlation between pest densities ...

Resource concentration dilutes a key pest in indigenous potato agriculture
The assumed relationship between biodiversity or local richness and the persistence of ‘ecosystem services’ (that can sustain productivity on-site as well as off-site, e.g. through regulation of water flow and storage) in agricultural landscapes has generated considerable interest and a range of ...

Biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes - are we asking the right questions?
This paper seeks to establish the concept that the analysis of high temporal resolution meteorological data adds value to the investigation of the effect of climatic variability on the prevalence and severity of agricultural pests and diseases. Specifically we attempt to improve disease potential...

Linking ecosystem services to food security in a changing planet: assessing Peruvian Amazon deforestation using the ARtificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services (ARIES) framework
The yield attributes of 18 accessions of Centrosema, comprising the species, C. macrocarpum, C. brasilianum, Centrosema sp. nov. were compared in two experiments under a cutting regime. Small, grazed swards of various Centrosema spp. sown with Andropogon gayanus in mixture were also studied, with...
