Dit onderzoek zorgt ervoor dat we kunnen begrijpen hoe een #pollenallergie de levenskwaliteit kan beïnvloeden, met de emotionele problemen die daaruit kunnen voortvloeien.

New paper out led by @DaelemansRobin & @EvaHulsmans with an analysis of local management (organic vs IPM) & landscape effects on pollinators and yields in apple orchards. Presence of semi-natural habitats is much more important than local management. https://t.co/NqsikKzk6s

In our upcoming research, we will investigate trade-offs and synergies between multiple ecosystem services to identify effective strategies to make apple farming more sustainable. More about our project here:https://t.co/Y9KwVFZpdj (7/7)

To summarize, our PSEM indicated that organic management and habitat conservation can enhance natural enemies and stimulate pest control, but also showed that these factors can enhance pest infestations and can even lead to an overall increase in pest-related crop damage (6/7)
