Biodiversity promotes ecosystem function (EF) in experiments, but it remains uncertain how
biodiversity loss affects function in larger‐scale natural ecosystems. In these natural …

The current biodiversity crisis underscores the need to understand how biodiversity loss
affects ecosystem function in real-world ecosystems. At any one place and time, a few highly …

Ecologists have shown through hundreds of experiments that ecological communities with
more species produce higher levels of essential ecosystem functions such as biomass …

Enhancing key floral resources is essential to effectively mitigate the loss of pollinator
diversity and associated provisioning of pollination functions in agro‐ecosystems. However …

Wild and managed bees are key pollinators, ensuring or enhancing the reproduction of a
large fraction of the world's wild flowering plants and the yield of∼ 85% of all cultivated …

It is important to understand how biodiversity, including that of rare species, affects
ecosystem function. Here, we consider this question with regard to pollination. Studies of …

Loss of habitat area and diversity poses a threat to communities of wild pollinators and
flowering plants in agricultural landscapes. Pollinators, such as wild bees, and insect …

Flowering plants provide critical resources for wild bees. Consequently, enhancing flowering
plant communities through hedgerows or flower strips has become a common …

There is compelling evidence that more diverse ecosystems deliver greater benefits to
people, and these ecosystem services have become a key argument for biodiversity …

Declining bee populations are a serious threat to pollination, an ecosystem service
indispensable to many crop plants and native vegetation (bees are the chief pollinators of …
