Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Weed communities were more diverse and more abundant in organic farming systems.
- Association Weed communities were not more abundant in denser and more complex bocage landscapes.
- Association Bocage increased species diversity of weeds.
- Association Bocage increased the community-weighted variance of specific leaf area, plant height and seed mass of weeds.
- Mechanism The positive bocage effect on weed diversity is attributed to increased environmental heterogeneity rather than spillover of transient species from hedgerows.
- Observation Bocage effects on weed communities were independent of farming system at field and landscape scales.
