Resumo
Recent studies have characterized the influence of agroecosystems on biodiversity. However, a set ofcomponents associated with the management of these areas is still neglected in landscape-level stud-ies, especially in areas of recent agricultural intensification. The resources and conditions provided byagroecosystems to different species are highly variable in space and time, and failing to account forthis 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 compo-nents still need to be better explored to provide an adequate assessment of the agroecosystem effects onbiodiversity. 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. Anin-depth description of agroecosystems can help us create better landscape-level management strategiesand to design more effective green-way policies.
