A polinização no contexto da paisagem: o que de fato sabemos e o que precisamos saber

Resumo

Diversos estudos realizados na última década, principalmente em países de clima temperado, têm demonstrado que a perda de habitat e sua fragmentação provocam alterações na riqueza, composição, abundância e comportamento dos polinizadores. Tais alterações na estrutura das paisagens são consideradas as principais causas da limitação dos “serviços” de polinização nos sistemas agrícolas. A compilação dos resultados desses estudos permite identificar padrões gerais e lacunas no conhecimento que poderão ser utilizados para subsidiar a elaboração de diretrizes para conservação de polinizadores e recuperação de paisagens degradadas.

Abstract

Several studies in the past decade, mostly in temperate countries, has shown that habitat loss and fragmentation cause changes in species richness, composition, abundance and behavior of pollinators. Such changes in the structure of the landscapes are considered the main causes of limitation of pollination service in agricultural systems. The compilation of the results of these studies can identify general patterns and gaps in knowledge that could be used to subsidize the development of public policies for pollinator conservation and restoration of degraded landscapes.
