Recent studies have characterized the influence of agroecosystems on biodiversity. However, a set of components associated with the management of these areas is still neglected in landscape-level studies, especially in areas of recent agricultural intensification. The resources and conditions provided by agroecosystems to different species are highly variable in space and time, and failing to account for this variation may lead to misleading conclusions about the biodiversity status in these environments. In this perspective, we provide a conceptual overview to highlight why and which landscape components still need to be better explored to provide an adequate assessment of the agroecosystem effects on biodiversity. We used a Brazilian heterogeneous intensive-farming landscape as an example to outline the components that we believe are important for understanding biodiversity patterns in such landscapes. An in-depth description of agroecosystems can help us create better landscape-level management strategies and to design more effective green-way policies.

最近的研究已经表征了农业生态系统对生物多样性的影响。但是，在景观层面的研究中，尤其是在最近的农业集约化领域中，与这些地区的管理相关的一系列要素仍然被忽略。农业生态系统为不同物种提供的资源和条件在空间和时间上变化很大，如果不考虑这种变化，可能会导致对这些环境中生物多样性状况的误导性结论。从这个角度出发，我们提供了一个概念概述，以突出说明为什么还需要更好地探索哪些景观成分，以便对农业生态系统对生物多样性的影响进行充分评估。我们以巴西的异种集约化农业景观为例，概述了我们认为对于理解此类景观中的生物多样性模式至关重要的组成部分。对农业生态系统的深入描述可以帮助我们制定更好的景观管理策略，并设计更有效的绿道政策。
