Supply of and demand for wild pollinator habitat in the Southeast United States
Description
Wild insect pollination has significant positive effects on pollinator-dependent crop production. To assess the spatial
distribution of potential wild insect pollination, we mapped the supply of potential wild pollinator habitat (forest,
grassland, wetland, and shrubland land cover types) and the demand for pollination (directly pollinator-dependent crops).
A foraging travel distance for temperate native bees (1308 meters) was used to identify wild pollinator habitat that is within
foraging range of pollinator-dependent crops, and pollinator-dependent crops that are within foraging range of pollinator
habitat.
