Data from: Organic farming enhances parasitoid diversity at the local and landscape scale
1. The magnitude of the benefits derived from organic farming within contrasting managed landscapes remains unclear and, in particular, the potential scale-dependent response of insect parasitoids is relatively unexplored. Identifying the scale at which parasitoids are affected by organic farming will be an important step to enhance their conservation. 2. We sampled tachinid parasitoids at the centre and margin of arable and grassland fields on paired organic and conventional farms located in landscapes with different proportions of organic land. A total of 192 fields were sampled in two biogeographical regions of the UK. 3. We found that the positive effect of organic farming on tachinid parasitoid diversity can be observed at multiple spatial scales. At the local scale, we found higher abundance and species richness of tachinid parasitoids on organic than on conventional farms and on field margins than on field centres. At the landscape scale, the diversity of tachinids was higher in landscapes with higher proportions of organic land. At both scales, the positive effect of organic farming was clear for arable fields, while it was almost neutral for grasslands. 4. Synthesis and applications. Any attempt to enhance parasitoid diversity in agricultural landscapes needs to consider the local management in relation to the habitat type, location within the field and agricultural management in the surrounding landscape. To restore parasitoid diversity, the promotion of organic agriculture should aim to increase both the total extent of organic farming and the connectivity of individual farms. As the benefits of organic farming to biodiversity clearly spread beyond individual farm boundaries, any assessment of organic farming should consider these positive externalities.

Figure 4. Spatial random effects explaining abundance, number of species and Berger-Parker index in samples in different management types. Grayscale palette shows scales (meters, 25cm-plots, 7-cm plots). Barplots show Tau parameter of the (spatial) random effects; mixed-effects models were run in each management type separately.

The altitude was from 175 to 234 m above sea level depending on the field.

Database of field experiments on the effect of organic farming on yield and yield stability in European arable land
<table> <tbody> <tr> <td>The database consists of 50 field experiments located in 45 sites with mostly loamy soil texture across 15 European countries, covering European climate zones, from Boreal to Mediterranean South. Mean annual precipitation and mean annual temperature measured at the experimental sites included in this meta-analysis ranged from 360 mm to 1,050 mm and from 3.4 °C to 16.3 °C, respectively.<br>A total of 7 studies each from Sweden and Poland were included, 6 from Italy and Spain, 4 from Denmark and Estonia, 3 from Germany, 2 from Finland, Latvia, Norway, Switzerland and the UK, and 1 from Austria, the Netherlands and France. In organic systems, animal-based fertilizers (manure, slurry, manure compost) was applied in 11 studies, plant-based fertilizers (legumes and mixed green manure) in 24 studies, and both types of organic fertilizers in 13 studies. N input in organic systems was less than in conventional systems in 24 studies, equal in 3 studies, higher in 4 studies, and not reported in 19 studies. In most studies, fields were conventionally tilled and not irrigated. The duration of cereal-based organic systems ranges from 3 to 35 years. Yields of winter wheat, winter rye, spring barley, spring wheat, or oats were measured from 3 to 30 years, and the duration of organic rotations varied from two to eight years.<span> </span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

Soil properties and their interactions on organic farms in Nebraska
<p>Sustainable soil productivity is a function of soil chemical, physical, and biological main and interaction effects that vary with inherent soil properties, topography, crop, location, and management. These effects were investigated using soil samples collected at geo-referenced points from 119 fields on 15 organically certified farms across Nebraska. Observations are reported for 46 variables. Most fields had adequate soil conditions for high productivity. The irrigated versus rainfed effects differed for several soil properties in western compared with eastern Nebraska. On average, about 80% of the soil was in water-stable aggregates (WSA) of >0.05 mm diameter with more aggregation and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with pasture compared with cropland. Variation in soil microbial biomass (SMB) was more affected by variation in soil and climate properties than by management. Increased SOM for cropland in eastern Nebraska was positively related to SMB but not to AMF or the biomass ratios of saprophytic fungi (Fs) to bacteria and of actinomycetes to other bacteria. After accounting for the effect of SOM, SMB was most positively related to crop growth at the time of sampling, and availability of K and S. Mehlich-3 P was positively correlated with SMB but P and Zn availability were negatively correlated to AMF. Increased soil pH was associated with greater biomass of Fs and eukaryotes but not of bacteria. The SMB was generally less for pastures in western Nebraska compared with other field types. In conclusion, the soil properties of these organic farms were generally suited to high productivity and SMB had a strong, positive relationship to SOM.</p>
