Abstract

Highlights: [•] In intensified landscapes, crop diversity is the main source of heterogeneity. [•] We developed a multi-scale heterogeneity approach based on linear-mixed models. [•] At local scale, field position was a major determinant of arthropod diversity. [•] Fence density at landscape scale, contributed to retain diverse communities. [•] Diverse mechanisms linked to heterogeneity benefit the arthropod diversity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
