Scenarios for providing multiple ecosystem services and biodiversity in viticultural landscapes
WP2:Â Above ground biodiversity & natural pest control across spatial scales
Hypotheses
Field- and landscape scale heterogeneity increase above-ground biodiversity and pest control services in vineyards
Negative effects of high-intensity pesticide use and intensive ground cover management on natural enemies and pest control services can be mitigated by landscape heterogeneity
Management options that benefit natural pest control services and vineyard profitability also have positive effects on biodiversity conservation
