Woody vegetation can promote pollinator biodiversity in semi‐natural grasslands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Up to 24% shrub cover in Swedish semi‐natural grasslands is positively related to butterfly diversity, while butterfly diversity increases up to 18% deciduous hardwood tree cover. Initially positive effects of tree and shrub cover on butterfly abundance were detected on those butterflies that use trees and shrubs as host plants.
