Species-specific landscape characterisation method in agro-ecosystems

The landscape structure of an agro-ecosystem can directly influence its biodiversity. In order to better understand the ongoing worldwide biodiversity collapse, a comprehensive landscape characterisation method is indispensable. In this paper we propose a robust and universal methodological approach...
