DOI: 10.1111/icad.12264
Abstract: Agricultural intensification is considered to be a major driver of terrestrial biodiversity decline. Resulting loss, isolation and degradation of flower‐rich habitats are threatening pollinators. Agri‐environmental schemes (AES) aim to counteract these negative effects, including measures… read more here.
