Abstract:Context
Iberian wood-pastures (dehesas) constitute important habitats for flower-visiting insects, thus supporting the delivery of essential ecosystem services. However, dehesas have been experiencing increasing degradation either by farming intensification or abandonment.
Objectives
We assess if alternative management strategies linked to ecological intensification, designed to maximize productivity in Iberian dehesas, are also favorable for biodiversity, specifically pollinators.
Methods
We carried survey… Show more
