Impacts of Organic Farming on Insects Abundance and Diversity.Insects are a group of animals that contribute significantly to the proper functioning of different ecosystems on the planet. They provide services such as pollinating crops, recycling nutrients and controlling pests. Many scientific publications and reports have studied the current global decline of insects. This decline can severely affect other groups of animals including birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and small mammals that utilize insects as a source of food. This will have a great impact on the trophic cascade and an eventual adverse effect on the overall ecosystem. This book provides insights into the possible reasons behind the decline of insects as well as potential measures that might mitigate this decline. It contains eleven chapters written by different experts. The book is useful for a wide range of readers including entomologists, ecologists, botanists, environmentalists, and amateurs who love collecting and preserving insects.Insect populationsForest insectsInsect populations.Forest insects.595.70524Farag Hamadttu Abdel1363690El-Shafie Hamadttu Abdel-FaragMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910688400403321Global Decline of Insects3384649UNINA01966oam 22005294a 450 991064738070332120230621141105.0981-14-1961-2(CKB)4100000008617112(OCoLC)1369263261(MdBmJHUP)musev2_110043(oapen)doab97570(EXLCZ)99410000000861711220170830d2011 uy 0engur|||||||nn|ntxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLiu Kang : Essays on Art and CultureNational Gallery Singapore2011Singapore :National Art Gallery,2011.©2011.1 online resource (256 pages): illustrationsLiu Kang: Essays on Art and Culture is a testament to the inexorable passion of an artist who knew no boundaries.
