Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “Hereafter, these and other methods of using flowering plants to enhance pollinator habitat for crop pollination will be termed pollination reservoirs (PRs) (Brosi et al. 2008).”
Wildflower plantings enhance the abundance of natural enemies and their services in adjacent blueberry fields (2015, background): “…investigation of how landscape complexity, timing of resource provision, planting size, and configuration affect the response of natural enemies to the addition of floral resources would be needed to support recommendations for placement of these habitats into farm landscapes (Brosi et al., 2008).”
Larger wildflower plantings increase natural enemy density, diversity, and biological control of sentinel prey, without increasing herbivore density (2012, background): “If wildflower plantings are to be used to deliver ecosystem services to crop fields it is essential to determine the optimal plot size and configuration (Brosi et al., 2008).”
Economic Factors Affecting Diversified Farming Systems (2013, background): “For example, in the case of pollination services, neighboring farmers may receive a direct benefit from increased production due to improved pollination from a landowner who maintains a healthy native bee community as part of a DFS (Brosi et al. 2008, Lonsdorf et al. 2009).”
Protecting an ecosystem service: approaches to understanding and mitigating threats to wild insect pollinators (2016, background): “Wild insect pollinators 975 also differ in their mobility and foraging strategies (Greenleaf et al., 2007) and consequently 976 45 | P a g e the amount and spatial configuration of engineered habitats should determine their 977 effectiveness (Brosi et al., 2008).”
A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems. (2013, unknown): “…chemical inputs, planting small ﬁelds of different ﬂowering crops, increasing the use of mass-ﬂowering crops in rotations and breaking up crop monocultures with uncultivated features, such as hedgerows, low-input meadows or semi-natural woodlands (Tscharntke et al. 2005; Brosi et al. 2008).”
Optimizing land use decision-making to sustain Brazilian agricultural profits, biodiversity and ecosystem services (2016, background): “…(e.g., 1 km2) (e.g., Cong et al., 2016; Groot et al., 2007) or have targeted only BD (e.g., Polasky et al., 2008) or a single service like pollination (e.g., Brosi et al., 2008) or timber production (e.g., Lichtenstein and Montgomery, 2003), but have not considered more than two ES objectives.”
