PM 7/21: Resilience of biodiversity to plant protection product use – the modifying influence of landscape and interventions

Lund University was commissioned by the Swedish Chemicals Agency to map and describe the evidence base for interactive effects of structural landscape change and the use of PPPs on biodiversity, as well as actions that could be taken to mitigate effects of PPP use.

The commission departed from six questions posed by the Chemical Agency and further developed in dialogue with Lund University and SLU Centre for Pesticides in the Environment (CKB). Two reviewable questions were formulated, “Does landscape context influence the resilience of farmland biodiversity to the use of plant protection products?” and “Do agri-environmental interventions influence the resilience of farmland biodiversity to the use of plant protection products?”, and these were the basis for two parallel systematic searches of scientific literature databases and following screening of the identified literature.
