Plant identity determines pollinator, natural enemy, herbivore, and decomposer abundances in flower plantings

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Flower plantings in agricultural landscapes can contribute to sustainable crop production by enhancing pollination and biological control services. However, selecting plant species that promote multiple ecosystem services is challenging, since plants that favor pollinators may not equally foster natural enemies, and potential trade‐offs, such ...
