Resumo(s)
Olive growing has been facing major sustainability challenges due to intensification,
resulting in an increased use of pesticides and fertilizers and, consequently, in the depletion of
natural resources and loss of biodiversity and landscape values. This has created an urgent need to
develop models for managing complex agroecosystems that integrate factors affecting food quality,
sustainability and biodiversity, providing a supporting technique to understand the consequences
of agricultural management for ecosystem services. We are developing an advanced agent-based
simulation (ABS) applied to olive groves to model the effects of farming practices on the abundance
of olive pest predators. ABS is a modeling technique where agents represent animals (predator
arthropods, in our case) acting in their environment. Our model is based on an ABS system developed
by Aarhus University, the ALMaSS, which comprises highly detailed farm management and spatial
structures to construct dynamic landscapes where agents operate. In this work, we present the
conceptual model for one of the selected species, Haplodrassus rufipes (Araneae: Gnaphosidae.
