Using the Lonsdorf model for estimating habitat loss and fragmentation effects on pollination service (open access)

Using the Lonsdorf model for estimating habitat loss and fragmentation effects on pollination service

Article examining the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination separately according to the Lonsdorf model. Results show that the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination are completely different at the landscape and farm levels. This article shows that using the Lonsdorf model could lead to confusing results for the landscape ecologists and farmers who want to reduce the adverse effects of fragmentation on their products by creating new forest patches.
