Restoration of plant-pollinator interaction has emerged as a critical issue in the maintenance of resilient and healthy ecosystems. However, some challenges remain, such as integrating ecological and practical information in plant species' choices to restore mutualistic interactions. We present a case-based experience that combines ecological information (i.e., plant attractiveness to pollinators as a ranking of the interaction frequency and the species richness of interacting pollinators) and practical information (i.e., ease-of-restoration) to prioritise species for the restoration of pollination. We explore the importance of a set of 18 native plant species in the Argentinian Pampa grasslands. The selected species, representing 19% of the plant species present in the study system's pollination webs, were visited by 93% of the total insect pollinator species registered, which belonged to the most abundant and diverse entomophile plant families in the region. As could be expected, the plant species prioritised for restoring pollination interactions seemed to depend more on ecological (plant attractiveness to pollinators) than practical (ease-of-restoration) information. However, the practical information identified some critical species that may be difficult to propagate and introduce and are therefore unsuitable despite their ecological importance. This ecological and practical information may help prioritise plant species used to restore an essential but neglected ecosystem. We hope this practical case study will guide the planning of restoration projects for biodiversity conservation, contributing to sustaining the grassland biome’s ecosystem functions.

恢复授粉不仅与传粉媒介有关:结合生态和实用信息,确定可用于恢复阿根廷潘帕草原的优先植物物种

恢复植物-授粉媒介相互作用已成为维持复原力和健康生态系统的关键问题。但是,仍然存在一些挑战,例如将生态和实用信息整合到植物物种的选择中以恢复相互的相互作用。我们提供了一个基于案例的经验,结合了生态信息(即,植物对传粉媒介的吸引力,作为相互作用的授粉媒介的相互作用频率和物种丰富度的等级)和实用信息(即,易于恢复),从而为该物种确定了优先顺序。恢复授粉。我们探索了阿根廷Pampa草原中18种本地植物物种的重要性。所选物种占研究系统授粉网中植物物种的19%,登记的昆虫授粉媒介物种总数的93%都被探访过,这些昆虫属于该地区最丰富和多样的嗜昆虫植物科。可以预见的是,优先用于恢复授粉相互作用的植物物种似乎更多地取决于生态(植物对传粉媒介的吸引力)而不是实用(易于恢复)的信息。然而,实践信息确定了一些关键物种,尽管它们具有生态重要性,但可能难以繁殖和引入,因此不适合。这些生态和实用信息可能有助于确定用于恢复重要但被忽视的生态系统的植物物种的优先级。我们希望这一实际案例研究将指导生物多样性保护修复项目的规划,
