    Author : Hanna Olsson; [2023]
    Keywords : pollinator; bumblebee; rough pasture; semi-natural pasture; unimproved grazing; landscape complexity;

    Abstract : Investigating how pollinator populations are affected by land use changes is crucial for predicting their persistence in the landscape and thereby the persistence of the significant service they provide to crop production. Pollinator populations are subjected to multiple threats, particularly overall intensification of cropping systems and landscape simplification. READ MORE
