The SCALES project focuses on the effects of spatial and temporal scales on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services. Our studies include effects of semi-natural habitats on arable land and vice versa (spillover effects). Another focus is on effects of temporal changes in the agricultural landscape on biocontrol.

Species groups: carabids, araneae, oilseed rape pests and predators

Habitats: calcareous grasslands, cereal fields, pine forest and oilseed rape fields
