Wild pollinator densities in European agricultural landscapes (NaturaConnect)

by Liam Vezzani

We estimated wild pollinator density (expressed as the natural logarithm of abundance per m²) in cropland cells across Europe for the current state and three future scenarios. The dataset encompasses two temporal references: one for 2020 and three future scenarios for 2050. All four maps were produced by independently applying the same statistical model to land system maps for each year. Results from 2020 are included in each future scenario for ...(continue reading)

We estimated wild pollinator density (expressed as the natural logarithm of abundance per m²) in cropland cells across Europe for the current state and three future scenarios. The dataset encompasses two temporal references: one for 2020 and three future scenarios for 2050. All four maps were produced by independently applying the same statistical model to land system maps for each year. Results from 2020 are included in each future scenario for structural consistency. We utilized the NaturaConnect (https://naturaconnect.eu/) land system maps for both the current state and future scenarios (Garcia et al., 2024; Sandström et al., 2023).

The method of production of the original data.
Hover to see a suggestion for a minimum description. To build the dataset, we first built linear mixed effect models linking wild pollinator densities to the distance to the closest small woody feature (European Commission, Copernicus Land Monitoring Service, 2023), management practice and fraction of habitat within a 3 km radius. The underlying data was obtained from CropPol (Allen-Perkins et al., 2022) as well as from a literature review.
