Abstract: Landscape intensity is a major driver of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in agricultural landscapes, and is often used to inform environmental quality. It is commonly described by land cover alone, as farming practices are assumed to be correlated with crop types. Despite their potential impact on field quality, distribution of farming practices at landscape scale is poorly understood, due to the lack of methods for summarizing the numerous farming practices at field and landscape levels.
