Agricultural intensification and biodiversity partitioning in European landscapes comparing plants, carabids, and birds.

The article focuses on the effects of agricultural intensification (AI) on biodiversity in Europe. It investigates the diversity of vascular plants, carabid beetles, and birds in agricultural landscapes in cereal crop field at the field, farm, and European-region scale. The study suggests that a more detailed understanding of AI effects on diversity patterns of various plants and animals in multiple spatial scales would contribute to more efficient agri-environmental schemes in agroecosystems.
