EFFECTS OF FARMING SYSTEM ON AQUATIC INSECT COMMUNITIES IN THE PADDY FIELDS OF TAIWAN
Agricultural intensification is one of the major threats to global biodiversity and ecosystem services. Sustainable management of agricultural lands can reduce these impacts, but few efforts have been made for paddy fields. In this study, we examine the effects of the management on aquatic insect communities under conventional and organic farming conditions in the paddy fields of north Taiwan. Our results showed that organic farming systems did not increase taxon richness and abundance. In addition, the composition of insect communities did not have a difference between organic and conventional farming systems. In our study area, the simplified landscape with high agricultural intensification would influence the farming efficiency. When considering landscape effects, further efforts are needed to evaluate the value of non-crop habitats as sources of biotic assemblages.
