Agricultural Landscape

Over the past few decades, rapid industrialization and urbanization have led to the homogenization and fragmentation of landscapes, a significant loss of biodiversity, and a decline in agricultural sustainability. Agricultural landscapes are of great significance as the dominant type of global land surface and a major source of global food supply. Agricultural landscape patterns affect regional ecosystem services by affecting biodiversity and the structure and function of ecosystems. Different agricultural landscape patterns and compositions have obvious differences in their impact on ecosystems. Therefore, enhancing the sustainability of agricultural systems through landscape design and management strategies is a key way to combat declining trends in biodiversity.
