Our analysis identifies risks at country scale, for finer spatial analysis (e.g. to infer local #biodiversity impacts) more resolved crops and pesticides usage data are needed. Check out the Land Cover plus: Fertilisers and Pesticides map www.ceh.ac.uk/data/ukceh-l... for a fine resolution example.
UKCEH Land Cover plus: Fertilisers and Pesticides
By combining information on cropping patterns from UKCEH Land Cover® plus: Crops with national survey data on pesticide and fertiliser use, the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has created two data p...

Insecticides are the major contributors to risks for #insects; #insecticides, #fungicides and #herbicides are all important for springtails and earthworms.

We show that between 1994 and 2016 risk from #pesticides decreased for springtails, lacewings and wasps while increasing for #bees and earthworms.
