Worldwide, human appropriation of ecosystems is disrupting plant-pollinator communities and pollination function through habitat conversion and landscape homogenisation. Conversion to agriculture is destroying and degrading semi-natural ecosystems while conventional land-use intensification (e.g. industrial management of large-scale monocultures with high chemical inputs) homogenises landscape structure and quality. Together, these anthropogenic processes reduce the connectivity of populations and erode floral and nesting resources to undermine pollinator abundance and diversity, and ultimately pollination services. Ecological intensification of agriculture represents a strategic alternative to ameliorate these drivers of pollinator decline while supporting sustainable food production, by promoting biodiversity beneficial to agricultural production through management practices such as intercropping, crop rotations, farm-level diversification and reduced agrochemical use. We critically evaluate its potential to address and reverse the land use and management trends currently degrading pollinator communities and potentially causing widespread pollination deficits. We find that many of the practices that constitute ecological intensification can contribute to mitigating the drivers of pollinator decline. Our findings support ecological intensification as a solution to pollinator declines, and we discuss ways to promote it in agricultural policy and practice.

生态集约化以减轻常规集约化土地利用对传粉媒介和授粉的影响。

在全球范围内，人类对生态系统的占用正通过栖息地转换和景观同质化破坏植物授粉媒介群落和授粉功能。转向农业正在破坏和破坏半自然生态系统，而传统的土地利用集约化（例如，具有大量化学投入的大规模单一栽培的工业管理）使景观结构和质量均一化。这些人为过程共同降低了种群的连通性，侵蚀了花卉和嵌套资源，破坏了授粉媒介的数量和多样性，最终破坏了授粉服务。农业的生态集约化是缓解传粉媒介下降的这些驱动因素，同时支持可持续粮食生产的战略选择，通过间作，轮作，农场一级的多样化和减少农药的使用等管理做法，促进对农业生产有益的生物多样性。我们严格评估其潜力，以解决和逆转目前使传粉媒介社区退化并可能造成广泛的授粉短缺的土地使用和管理趋势。我们发现，构成生态集约化的许多实践可以有助于减轻授粉媒介衰退的驱动力。我们的研究结果支持生态集约化，以解决传粉媒介减少的问题，我们讨论了在农业政策和实践中促进集约化的方法。我们严格评估其潜力，以解决和逆转目前使传粉媒介社区退化并可能造成广泛的授粉短缺的土地使用和管理趋势。我们发现，构成生态集约化的许多实践可以有助于减轻授粉媒介衰退的驱动力。我们的研究结果支持生态集约化，以解决传粉媒介减少的问题，我们讨论了在农业政策和实践中促进集约化的方法。我们严格评估其潜力，以解决和逆转目前使传粉媒介社区退化并可能造成广泛的授粉赤字的土地使用和管理趋势。我们发现，构成生态集约化的许多实践可以有助于减轻授粉媒介衰退的驱动力。我们的发现支持生态集约化，以解决传粉媒介减少的问题，我们讨论了在农业政策和实践中促进集约化的方法。
