Agricultural landscapes with prevailing grasslands can mitigate the population densities of a tree-damaging alien species

Original language description

Alien organisms can seriously damage plants that are important to humans. Because such pests are often managed at the site scale, our understanding of how factors on broader spatial scales affect their numbers remains poor. To understand how factors relevant to larger spatial scales affect alien numbers, we used the horsechestnut leaf miner (Cameraria ohridella) as a model organism. We studied how its site-based population density was related to six kinds of land use in independent landscapes (ranging from 2 to 64 km2) that surrounded each study site in the Czech Republic. For each landscape, we quantified the area occupied by coniferous forests, deciduous forests, crop fields, grasslands, parks and urban areas, and linear vegetation. Data were collected from 30 sites in 2002 and from 35 different sites in 2014. The abundance of alien pest was most closely associated with the landscape occupied by grassland. This relationship was negative, and its strength increased with spatial scale in 2002 but dec
