The objective of this work is to find the most prevalent elements that have positive effects on
pollinator density and diversity in crop fields, as reported in the literature, through a …

Biodiversity of semi-natural grasslands depends on the management practices used.
However, management systems suitable for one taxon, such as plants, can be detrimental to …

For a diverse pollinator fauna it is important that pollen and nectar are available over the
entire summer at spatially relevant scales. Semi-natural hay meadows are among the most …

The recent decline of Lepidoptera species strongly correlates with the increasing
intensification of agriculture in Western and Central Europe. However, the effects of changed …

European semi-natural grasslands are often managed by mowing. These habitats have
species-rich fauna, but mowing threatens arthropods' abundance and diversity. Leaving …

The intensification of agricultural practices that Western nations have experienced after
World War II has led to an alarming decline in farmland biodiversity. With the aim of stopping …

Traditionally managed grasslands rank among the most species-rich ecosystems. However,
in agricultural landscapes of Western and Central Europe, their extent has severely …

Pollination is a key ecosystem service, and appropriate management, particularly in
agricultural systems, is essential to maintain a diversity of pollinator guilds. However …

Global declines in pollinator populations and associated services make it imperative to
identify and sensitively manage valuable habitats. Coastal habitats such as saltmarshes can …

Within the citizen science project “Flowering meadows for Saxonian butterflies”, more than
640 meadows are partially and at maximum three times annually mowed in order to change …
