Monitoring methods adapted to different perceptions and uses of functional biodiversity: Insights from a European qualitative study

The role of functional biodiversity for favouring natural regulation and reducing pesticide use in fruit production is generally acknowledged. Although a number of farmers attempt to favour biodiversity through different strategies (e.g. diversified hedges, nesting boxes), they often lack means to e...

description The role of functional biodiversity for favouring natural regulation and reducing pesticide use in fruit production is generally acknowledged.
