PolLimCrop, a global dataset of pollen limitation in crops [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2023 Pollination is a crucial ecosystem service for maintaining plant communities and food production. 75% of the main crops depend on or benefit from pollination services provided by animal pollinators.

Pollen limitation in the endangered Chinese endemic species Sinocalycanthus chinensis [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Pollen limitation negatively impacts endangered and endemic plants with small fragmented populations, such as Sinocalycanthus chinensis, an endangered plant endemic to China. In this study, we analyzed the pollen limitation of the S. chinensis Damingshan

Spatiotemporal Variations in Seed Set and Pollen Limitation in Populations of the Rare Generalist Species Polemonium caeruleum in Poland [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 A vast majority of angiosperms are pollinated by animals, and a decline in the number and diversity of insects often affects plant reproduction through pollen limitation. This phenomenon may be particularly severe in rare plant species, whose populations

Effect of grazing disturbance on floral display, pollen limitation and plant pollination efficiency in the desert steppe [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Grazing disturbance usually affects floral display and pollination efficiency in the desert steppe, which may cause pollen limitation in insect-pollinated plants.

Land use and pollinator dependency drives global patterns of pollen limitation in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 An insufficient amount of pollen transfer by pollinators (pollen limitation) could reduce plant reproduction in human-impacted landscapes. Here the authors conduct a global meta-analysis and find that pollen limitation is high in urban environments and ...

Meta-analysis reveals severe pollen limitation for the flowering plants growing in East Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains region [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2020 Background Pollen limitation occurs widely and has an important effect on flowering plants. The East Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains region is a global biodiversity hotspot.

Pollinator dependence but no pollen limitation for eight plants occurring north of the Arctic Circle [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Effective interactions between plants and pollinators are essential for the reproduction of plant species. Pollinator exclusion experiments and pollen supplementation experiments quantify the degree to which plants depend on animal pollinators and the ...

Temperature and soil moisture manipulation yields evidence of drought‐induced pollen limitation in bee‐pollinated squash [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionClimate change alters environmental conditions in ways that directly and indirectly affect plants. Flowering plants, for example, modify reproductive allocation in response to heat and drought stress, and such changes can in turn affect pollinator ...

Are Reproductive Traits Related to Pollen Limitation in Plants? A Case Study from a Central European Meadow [PDF]
Plants, 2020 The deficiency of pollen grains for ovule fertilization can be the main factor limiting plant reproduction and fitness. Because of the ongoing global changes, such as biodiversity loss and landscape fragmentation, a better knowledge of the prevalence and

Effect of Pollen Limitation and Pollinator Visitation on Pollination Success of Haloxylon ammodendron (C. A. Mey.) Bunge in Fragmented Habitats [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Haloxylon ammodendron (C. A. Mey.) Bunge is an ecologically important species in arid regions. Pollen limitation may decrease plant reproduction due to low levels of pollen transfer and inadequate pollen receipt.
