WP2 - Ecosystem services
Four ecosystem services are measured in each sampling site.
Pollination experiment
 |
Flowering plants with bagged and unbagged flowers will be placed in each field to measure the pollination potential. |
Pest predation experiment
 |
Biological control potential will be estimated by placing aphids glued on cards placed on the ground. |
Yield
 |
Crop yield is estimated for each field based on surveys conducted with farmers. These surveys also aim at gathering data on practices. |
Biodiversity
 |
The cultural service associated with biodiversity conservation is estimated from data collected on the 7 taxonomic groups. |
