• Enhancing floral resources for pollinators in productive agricultural grasslands (2014, background): “The extensive management was intended to provide a summer window to allow the full phenological development of the sward and thus provide flowers for insect pollinators (Potts et al., 2009; Woodcock et al., 2009).”
• Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs (2012, background): “…for enhancing pollinator richness and abundance on farms is to plant flower-rich hedgerows, grassy borders, or in-field insectary strips (e.g., Potts et al. 2009), although it is not yet known whether such techniques simply concentrate existing pollinators at the floral resources, or increase…”
• Organic dairy farming: impacts on insect–flower interaction networks and pollination (2011, unknown): “FLOWER VIS ITORS AND FARMING SYSTEM As in previous studies (Rundlof, Nilsson & Smith 2008; Potts et al. 2009), the higher abundance and evenness of bees on organic farms was probably because of a higher abundance of flowers.”
• Effects of grazing intensity on pollinator abundance and diversity, and on pollination services (2016, background): “First, as often shown in other studies (Potts et al., 2003, 2009; Vulliamy et al., 2006), the abundance and richness of pollinators increased with flower richness and abundance.”
• Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “Increased habitat diversity , structural heterogeneity, and reduced patch disturbance can significantly promote species richness and genetic variability and reduce extinction rates of many species (Barbault 1995; Dover 1996; Potts et al. 2009; Bàrberi et al. 2010).”
• Opportunities to enhance pollinator biodiversity in solar parks (2021, background): “bumblebee and butterfly abundance and diversity differed according to combinations of fertiliser application, cutting, grazing and the sowing of different seed mixtures [81].”
• Pollination services in the UK: how important are honeybees? (2011, background): “While current agri-environmental schemes provide some options that are beneficial to pollinators, such as nectar flower mixes (Potts et al , 2009), without added incentives, these options suffer from poor uptake compared to lower-cost alternatives (Hodge and Reader, 2010).”
