A Framework for the Heterogeneity and Ecosystem Services of Farmland Landscapes: An Integrative Review

It is essential for the sustainable development of farmland landscapes to balance ecosystem service trade-offs and improve resource use efficiency during crop production. Thus, an integrative and concept-centric qualitative approach was applied by combining the patch–corridor–matrix model of landsca...
