Résumé anglais
Different levels of biodiversity — species, biotopes and landscapes — can be differentiated and used for the assessment of the biotic environment of organic farms. Could the integration of species diversity into the cultivated land be a task for organic farming in the future? For hundreds of years agriculture supported the enrichment and the diversification of the vegetation in Central Europe. Nowadays many landscape elements are no more than relics of historical land use. Todays’ intensive agriculture is considered to be the main agent responsible for the decline of plant species. What are the effects of sustainable ways of agriculture on biodiversity, especially on the diversity of arable field plants? Many investigations show positive effects of organic agriculture on the diversity of arable fields and grassland, too. A higher number of species and also more endangered ‘red list’ species are to be found in organic fields. Different effects of agricultural practices in organic farming on the weed flora are discussed.
