A search key in Web of Science was used to find publications containing cropland species richness data and a first selection was made based on the titles and abstracts of the 2,591 journal hits. 2. 250 publications were selected and checked for usefulness of data: Was the type of crop cultivated specified? Was survey data reported (either as total number of species, species richness per unit of area, or any other biodiversity index) at the species level? Was the survey done during the growth period of the crop? Was any reference data reported in the same publication? 3. Data on species richness, crop type, studied taxonomic group, sampling method, sampling effort, sampling period, location and farm management were combined in a data sheet. If coordinates of the location were not reported, these were identified with Google Earth based on the location description. 4. All data points were mapped on a global ecoregion map using ArcGIS 9.2 (ESRI). We determined the ecoregion and biome in which each data point lay and added this information to the data sheet. 5. Another search key in Web of Science based on the taxonomic group and location (i.e. ecoregion and country) was used to find reference land cover data and a selection was made based on the titles and abstracts. 3 6. The selected publications were checked for usefulness of data: Was the type of natural landscape given and does this match the ecoregion description? Were survey data reported for the same taxonomic group as the cropland data? Were survey data reported in the same unit (i.e. total number of species, species richness per unit of area, or any other biodiversity index) and at the species level? 7. Data on species richness, vegetation type, studied taxonomic group, sampling method, sampling effort, sampling period and location were added to the data sheet. 8. For each combination of taxonomic group and ecoregion the sampling method and effort of the cropland and reference land cover studies were compared. If these were similar, a CF was calculated for each combination of categories. If data from multiple studies were available, CFs based on cropland and reference data from the same publication were preferred. Multiple data points within a study were first aggregated by calculating the mean CF for this study. 9. The available CFs were aggregated by deriving medians based on (1) combinations of crop type (Panicoideae, Pooideae, oil palm, low crops), species group (mammals, birds, arthropods and vascular plants) and location (biome) and (2) aggregation of all data available within a single crop group, species group or biome category. 4 2.

Characterization factors, full list Table I: All characterization factors (CFs) per crop type, taxonomic group, biome and literature reference. Species richness (S crop and Sref) represents the (average) number of species in one field or the total number of species in multiple fields. Reference data were collected from the same study (SS), from a different study in the same ecoregion (ECOR), or from a different study in the same biome (BIOME). CFs under CFplot are all 309 original CFs, often including multiple CFs per study for the same combination of crop type, taxonomic group, and biome. After averaging per study, a total of 152 CFs remained (CFstudy). crop type barley CFplot CFstudy 0.45 0.45 barley taxonomic group biome above-ground temperate grasslands spiders ground beetles temperate grasslands ref. based on ECOR Scrop 6 Sref 11 source Scrop Vink et al.

Characterization factor calculation example As an example, we explain the case of arthropod species richness in oil crop plantation within the (sub)tropical moist broadleaf forest biome. There were a total of 22 CFs calculated for this case (Table XI). The way of calculating is the same for all 22, so we only give one example (step 1; see below). Secondly, we calculated the average per study when a study provided multiple species richness data points (for example from different plots or from different years). The data in bold in Table XI is one example of a study with five data points (study no. 9). Step 2 (see below) shows how we calculated the study-average of these 5 CFs. The same was done for the 3 CFs in study no. 15. Now a total of 16 CFs from 16 different studies remain. In step 3 (see below) we calculate the median CF for the specific combination of species, crop, and biome, in this case for arthropods in oil crop plantation within the (sub)tropical moist broadleaf forest biome. Table XI: Characterization factors for the calculation example. See Table I for underlying information. Data in bold are used for step 1 and 2 of the example (see below). crop type oil palm species group arboreal beetles biome tropical moist broadleaf forests CFplot 0.77 study 1 CFstudy 0.77 Scrop 40 oil palm bees tropical moist broadleaf forests -1.13 2 -1.13 17 8 oil palm bird’s nest ants tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.03 3 0.03 35 36 oil palm butterflies tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.54 4 0.54 12 26 oil palm canopy ants tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.52 5 0.52 58 120 oil palm canopy ants tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.87 6 0.87 36 280 oil palm canopy ants tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.86 7 0.86 39 280 oil palm ground beetles tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.87 8 0.87 75 557 oil palm ground-dwelling ants ground-dwelling ants ground-dwelling ants ground-dwelling ants ground-dwelling ants tropical moist broadleaf forests tropical moist broadleaf forests tropical moist broadleaf forests tropical moist broadleaf forests tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.88 9 0.93 23 187 0.95 9 10 187 0.93 9 14 187 0.96 9 7 187 0.95 9 9 187 oil palm oil palm oil palm oil palm 42 Sref 174 oil palm tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.41 10 0.41 29 49 tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.20 11 0.20 20 25 tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.50 12 0.50 4 8 oil palm ground-dwelling ants ground-dwelling dung beetles ground-dwelling isopods litter-dwelling ants tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.74 13 0.74 56 216 oil palm mosquitoes tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.00 14 0.00 6 6 oil palm moths tropical moist broadleaf forests -0.15 15 0.05 85 75 oil palm moths tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.45 15 73 133 oil palm moths tropical moist broadleaf forests -0.15 15 90 78 oil palm subterranean beetles tropical moist broadleaf forests 0.79 16 64 306 oil palm oil palm 0.79 Step 1.
