Master thesis opportunity in KOOPERATIV "Establishment success of plant species within sown wildflower fields"
The establishment of sown wildflower strips or fields is a widely adopted agri-environmental measure to promote the diversity of flower-visiting insects and other arthropods in agricultural landscapes. However, the attractiveness of sown flower fields largely depends on the establishment of the sown plant species and changes in species composition over time. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the temporal development, stability and community assembly of plant species within sown perennial flowers fields ...moreMaster thesis in KOOPERATIV: Effects of landscape-scale flower field area on stability of pollination services in oilseed rape fields over five years
