Answer:

Required Answer:-

The intensification of agriculture has caused dramatic declines in farmland biodiversity (Carvalheiro et al., 2013; Senapathi et al., 2015). Since the 1990s, agricultural policies have been developed in Europe to mitigate this loss through agri-environmental schemes (AES). One AES is “sown wildflower strips”, the aim of which is to create new ecological infrastructures by sowing attractive wild flowers on arable land (a few % of the cultivated area). These ecological infrastructures fall within our definition of MIMS since they represent a massive introduction of managed species in the landscape.
