20.500.12556/DiRROS-29273 Climate impacts apple pollination, yield and economic outcomes of farmers Animal-mediated pollination is crucial to global food production but is increasingly threatened by environmental degradation, habitat loss and climate change. The extent to which temperature affects pollination services and crop yields is poorly understood. Using standardised monitoring in 33 apple orchards across Europe and Northern Africa over two years, this study assessed how ambient temperature affects flower visitors, fruit set, fruit quality and economic outcomes. Observation-time warm temperatures increased pollinator abundance, particularly of honey bees, while long-term mean annual temperatures enhanced pollination services for apple weight. Apple yield and the economic benefits to farmers increase with temperature, while the role of pollinators decreases along the climatic long-term mean annual temperature. These important findings suggest that another process may be at play beyond animal-mediated pollination. It was hypothesised that wind-mediated pollination may occur preferentially in Mediterranean regions, where farmers adapt their management strategies to benefit from this service. These results highlight the effects of climate change on agricultural production, the economic outcomes of farmers and food security and emphasise the need for climate-resilient strategies to support animal-mediated pollination and other ecosystem services. animal-mediated pollination climate change economic value insect pollinators Malus domestica pollination services opraševanje podnebne spremembe jablana opraševalci čebele true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-05-05 14:43:06 2026-05-05 14:43:06 2026-05-06 03:51:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Soavtorji: Stella Gachoki, Noureddine Adjlane, Danilo Bevk, Yamina Haider, Fani Hatjina, Šimun Kolega, Marin Kovačić, Ioannis Manthos, Zlatko Puškadija, Thomas Sotiropoulos, Bojan Stipešević, Fabrice Requier; Opis vira z dne 13. 4. 2026; str. 1-10 Vol. 1029, [article no.] 181767 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-05-10 638 1879-1026 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2026.181767 274974723 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969726004316?via%3Dihub 1 f7e70649-487f-11f1-8a5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43809 RAZ_Riva_Clemence_2026.pdf RAZ_Riva_Clemence_2026.pdf 1 B9E5FAE786DACC28699796C24539DDB0 cd34d725f6dfdab0e3e753bd1e28052415776bc8c6475c6ea4547d5a8e7ce357 22601bde-4880-11f1-8a5a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43810 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
