Gastvortrag: Prof. Dr. Katja Poveda Morciniec (Cornell University)
IGZ Colloquium
Titel: "From Fields to Landscapes: Plant–Insect Interactions and Ecosystem Services in Agroecosystems"
Zusammenfassung:
Agricultural intensification is transforming diverse, complex landscapes into increasingly simplified, monoculture-dominated environments. These changes affect arthropod diversity, with important consequences for ecosystem services such as pollination and natural pest control.
This talk explores unexpected pathways through which agricultural intensification influences ecosystem-service providers and shapes plant and insect traits. We will also examine how local diversification practices can promote beneficial ecological interactions and help sustain ecosystem services despite landscape and climate changes. Together, these findings reveal the complex connections among landscape change, biodiversity, ecosystem services, and agricultural production.
