The meadows are undeniably impressive in full bloom, and perhaps inspired Musselburgh Library to identify opportunities and launch a consultation around enhancing the library’s community greenspace for wildlife, including pollinators. The creation of Nature Networks is very much in the public mind a...
Thus, it is very useful to look around at natural areas in your community to see what plants are growing together, and which of these flowers seem to have the most visitors. Anatomy Plays a Role The size of the pollinators, the length of their tongues, and the accessibility of nectar ...
Particular IPLCs may use some or all of these practices. Policies that recognize customary tenure over traditional lands, strengthen indigenous and community-conserved areas, promote heritage listing and support diversified farming systems within a food sovereignty approach are among several identified that...
‘State of knowledge to underpin policy formulation’ the science ofpollination servicesis becoming increasingly exact and focused and is articulated as a suite ofmanagement practices. Yet the engagement of the farming community to put into place such management measures to conserve and protect ...
However, the impact of the solar panel canopy on the understory pollinator-plant community is unknown. Here we investigated the effects of solar arrays on plant composition, bloom timing and foraging behavior of pollinators from June to September (after peak bloom) in full shade plots and ...
help better understand and protect these ecosystems, which, as van Tussenbroek and her colleagues state, “are amongst the world’s most productive ecosystems. (They) improve water transparency, stabilize coastlines and store carbon, and also provide food and shelter to a diverse faunal community....
Microbial community diversity in agroforestry and grass vegetative filter strips Vegetative filter strips (VFS) have long been promoted as a soil conservation practice that yields many additional environmental benefits.

In the mid-2000s, word of a frightening trend in bee populations began circulating in the scientific community: entire colonies of bees were dying off at stunning rates. Dubbed “colony collapse disorder,” some beekeepers were reporting hive losses as high as 30% to 90% during the 2006-200...
of a crop species or a plant community. Netting has been suggested as the most effective strategy to reach this goal because it catches insects while they are visiting flowers19. Pan traps, on the other hand, may catch many insects that do not play an active role in pollination of the ...
The community impact could also motivate non-farm businesses and other stakeholders to support policies that promote pollinator-friendly solar arrays. Industry observers are already noting that vast fields of shiny panels on barren ground are at odds with the environmental message that eco-friendly busi...
