Abstract (AI)
Kremen, C., and A. Miles. 2012. Ecosystem services in biologically diversified versus conventional farming systems: benefits, externalities, and trade-offs Ecology and Society 17(4): 40. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-05035-170440
Key Findings
1
Biologically diversified farming systems can enhance ecosystem services compared with conventional systems.
2
Diversification may reduce negative environmental externalities associated with agricultural production.
3
The benefits of diversified farming involve trade-offs, indicating that no single system optimizes all ecosystem services simultaneously.
4
The paper evaluates farming systems by considering both ecosystem-service benefits and externalities rather than productivity alone.
