Initiating agri‐environmental collaboration at landscape scale requires bridging structures, regional facilitators and addressing the expectations of actors
To increase the effectiveness of agri‐environmental schemes, innovative approaches that focus on the landscape scale beyond individual fields and farms are widely discussed and tested. Central to these approaches is collaboration between several farmers and other actors in agricultural landscapes. The effectiveness of collaborative agri‐environmental initiatives is strongly related to the motivation of actors. Administrative and social issues mig…

Land‐sharing/‐sparing connectivity landscapes for ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation
The land‐sharing versus land‐sparing debate recently stagnated, lacking an integrating perspective in agricultural landscapes as well as consideration of ecosystem services. Here, we argue that land‐sharing (i.e. wildlife‐friendly farming systems) and land‐sparing (i.e. separation of high‐yielding agriculture and natural habitats) are not mutually exclusive, as both are needed to balance management needs for the multifunctionality of agricultural…

Land use intensification alters ecosystem multifunctionality via loss of biodiversity and changes to functional composition
Global change, especially land‐use intensification, affects human well‐being by impacting the delivery of multiple ecosystem services (multifunctionality). However, whether biodiversity loss is a major component of global change effects on multifunctionality in real‐world ecosystems, as in experimental ones, remains unclear. Therefore, we assessed biodiversity, functional composition and 14 ecosystem services on 150 agricultural grasslands differ…
Wild Pollinators Enhance Fruit Set of Crops Regardless of Honey Bee Abundance
Honeybees Can't Do It Alone The majority of food crops require pollination to set fruit with the honeybee providing a pollination workhorse, with both feral and managed populations an integral component of crop management (see the Perspective by Tylianakis , published online 28 February). Garibaldi et al. (p. 1608 , published online 28 February) now show that wild pollinators are also a vital part of our crop systems. In more than 40 important cr…
La diffusion de la cigarette en Allemagne de l'Est et de l'Ouest
Fumer est l'un des principaux facteurs de risque pour la santé de la population et la mortalité prématurée. En Allemagne, l'évolution de la consommation de cigarette montre qu'elle s'est propagée selon les principes de la théorie de la diffusion. Cette note de recherche présente des données empiriques sur la propension à commencer à fumer (individus « ayant déjà fumé ») et à cesser de fumer (« anciens fumeurs ») en mettant l'accent sur le rôle du…
The Diffusion of Smoking in East and West Germany
Smoking is among the most important risk factors for population health and premature mortality. Smoking trends for Germany indicate that smoking has been spreading according to the assumptions of diffusion theory. This paper presents empirical evidence for smoking diffusion in Germany. We focus on educational differences as well as on differences between East and West Germany in the propensity to start (ever smoker) and quit smoking (former smoke…
A systematic literature review of studies analyzing the effect of sex, age, education, marital status, obesity, and smoking on health transitions
Sex, age, education, marital status, obesity, and smoking have been found to affect health transitions between non-disabled, disabled, and death. Our aim is to review the research literature on this topic and provide structured information, first on th
