Evidence of widespread pollen limitation in diverse specialty crops on commercial farms

Royal Society Open Science
Specialty crops (non-staple fruits and vegetables) have diverse pollination requirements and pollinator communities, yet production may be limited by pollen limitation.

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF HONEYBEE POLLINATION MARKETS [PDF]

Pollination by honeybees plays an important role in modern agriculture. Some crops are greatly dependent on honeybees (almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, and cherries are examples) while the yields and quality of other crops are significantly ...

Reproductive biology of "Helianthemum apennium" (L.) Mill. and "H. caput-felis" Boiss. (Cistaceae) from Mallorca (Balearic Island, Spain) [PDF]

, 1997
El estudio de la biología reproductiva de poblaciones naturales de Helianthemum apenninum y H. caput-felis en Mallorca ha demostrado que son básicamente entomófilos, aunque también producen numerosos frutos por auto-polinización. Las flores de H.

Analysis and Assembling of Network Structure in Mutualistic Systems [PDF]

, 2007
It has been observed that mutualistic bipartite networks have a nested structure of interactions. In addition, the degree distributions associated with the two guilds involved in such networks (e.g.

Insect pollination is at least as important for marketable crop yield as plant quality in a seed crop.

Ecology Letters, 2018
The sustainability of agriculture can be improved by integrating management of ecosystem services, such as insect pollination, into farming practices. However, large-scale adoption of ecosystem services-based practices in agriculture is lacking, possibly

Economics of land‐based carbon mitigation

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural land holds tremendous potential to contribute to net zero greenhouse gas emission goals by providing low carbon renewable energy to displace fossil fuels and by serving as a sink for sequestering carbon in the soil with climate‐smart practices. This potential is, however, far from being realized.
