Arthropod abundances
Flower visitor observations showed that abundances were usually higher under low intensity management (Fig. 5a, b), while pan trap data (all arthropods) showed a reversed trend (Fig. 5c, d). Pan traps which were placed on linseed plots contained fewer arthropods than traps on plots sown with other crops. Conversely, observations on plots containing linseed showed highest numbers of flower visits (Tables S7, S8).
