Diverse crop rotations offset yield-scaled nitrogen losses via denitrification

Increased crop diversity in rotations reduces nitrogen losses relative to crop yield, making it an effective practice for sustainable farming, based on an analysis of 106 cereal fields across Europe and 56 climatic, soil, microbial, and management variables.

Delivery of crop pollination services is an insufficient argument for wild pollinator conservation

One argument for conserving biological diversity is that it delivers beneficial ecosystem services. However, Kleijn et al.show that the economic benefits of crop pollination are delivered by only a small subset of relatively common species, arguing that threatened species should be considered separately.

Clothianidin seed-treatment has no detectable negative impact on honeybee colonies and their pathogens

There has been a lack of multi-year landscape-scale studies on the effect of neonicotinoids on honeybee health. Here, Osterman et al. show that clothianidin exposure via seed-treated rapeseed has no negative impact on honeybee colony development, microbial pathogens/symbionts or immune gene expression.

Progress towards sustainable agriculture hampered by siloed scientific discourses

Two major discourses for agricultural sustainability, agroecology and sustainable intensification, have produced extensive research bases, but do not engage or overlap with each other. This analysis examines how these ‘silos’ may hamper further research.

Field-level clothianidin exposure affects bumblebees but generally not their pathogens

The potential impact of neonicotinoid field exposure on bumblebee microbiota remains unclear. In a landscape—scale study, Wintermantel et al. show that whilst exposure to clothianidin impacts Bombus terrestris performance, it does not affect levels of gut bacteria, viruses or intracellular parasites.

Increasing crop rotational diversity can enhance cereal yields

Increasing crop functional richness in rotations can support grain yields more than species diversity in many environments, suggest grain yield data from 32 long-term experiments across Europe and North America.

Seed coating with a neonicotinoid insecticide negatively affects wild bees

Neonicotinoid seed coating is associated with reduced density of wild bees, as well as reduced nesting of solitary bees and reduced colony growth and reproduction of bumblebees, but appears not to affect honeybees.
