Switching from monoculture to polyculture farming benefits birds in oil palm production landscapes: Evidence from mist netting data
Monoculture farming is pervasive in industrial oil palm agriculture, including those RSPO plantations certified as sustainably managed. This farming practice does not promote the maintenance of farmland biodiversity. However, little scientific attention has been given to polyculture farming in oil palm production landscapes. Polyculture farming is likely to increase the floristic diversity and ...
متن کاملMitigating the impact of oil-palm monoculture on freshwater fishes in Southeast Asia.
Anthropogenic land-cover change is driving biodiversity loss worldwide. At the epicenter of this crisis lies Southeast Asia, where biodiversity-rich forests are being converted to oil-palm monocultures. As demand for palm oil increases, there is an urgent need to find strategies that maintain biodiversity in plantations. Previous studies found that retaining forest patches within plantations be...
متن کاملOil palm monoculture induces drastic erosion of an Amazonian forest mammal fauna
Oil palm monoculture comprises one of the most financially attractive land-use options in tropical forests, but cropland suitability overlaps the distribution of many highly threatened vertebrate species. We investigated how forest mammals respond to a landscape mosaic, including mature oil palm plantations and primary forest patches in Eastern Amazonia. Using both line-transect censuses (LTC) ...
متن کاملApplication Communities: Using Monoculture for Dependability
Artificial diversity is one method for mitigating the security risks of software monoculture. Introducing diversity increases resilience by obfuscating the system parameters an attacker must control for a successful exploit. We take a different approach to resilience and introduce the concept of Application Communities (AC): collections of independent instances of the same application that coop...
متن کاملIt Monoculture Vulnerabilities and Defenses
T he term monoculture originates in the biological sciences, where it refers to a population entirely comprising instances of a single organism. Monocultures are rare in nature, and for good reason: they risk extinction from pathogens and have less chance of adapting to changing conditions. A pathogen could destroy some members of a diverse population but not all of them—diversity thus helps en...
