Research Progress in Urban Pollinator-Friendly Landscape Construction by Guiying LI, Hanwen XIAO, Runan TIAN

“…All along, the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom have been at the forefront of research, and although China has also conducted relevant research, the amount of literature has been low. In addition, four major research clusters in the field of pollinator-friendly landscapes are obtained through keyword co-occurrence network analysis: 1) effects of habitat fragmentation on pollinator community diversity; 2) impacts of declining pollinator diversity on agricultural economy; 3) impacts of urbanization on pollinator (Hymenoptera) diversity; 4) flowering plant resources and pollinator diversity conservation. …”
