Abstract Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we limited our capacity to understand variation benefits yield, as well anticipate changes service, develop predictions, and inform management actions. Here, present CropPol, a dynamic, open, database It contains measurements...
Abstract Due to increasing difficulties maintain semi‐natural habitat within agricultural landscapes, management of the matrix may provide a more realistic approach support farmland biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. We hypothesize that orchard compositional heterogeneity (OCH), is, different mass‐flowering crops with sequential blooming periods, pollinators through continuous abundance floral resources. assessed whether increased OCH at landscape level had positive effect on...
Wild bees are key providers of pollination services in agroecosystems. The abundance these pollinators and the ecosystem they provide rely on supporting resources landscape. Spatially explicit models that quantify wild bee food crops built foundations foraging nesting resources. This dependence limits model implementation as land-cover maps experts capable evaluating habitat resource quality scarce. study presents a novel approach to assessing crop using remote sensing data (RSD) an...
Human-induced environmental impacts on wildlife are widespread, causing major biodiversity losses. One threat is agricultural intensification, typically characterised by large areas of monoculture, mechanical tillage, and the use agrochemicals. Intensification leads to fragmentation loss natural habitats, native vegetation, nesting breeding sites. Understanding adaptability insects these changing conditions critical predicting their survival. Bumblebees, key pollinators wild cultivated...
