Global pollinator declines: trends, impacts and drivers.
Pollinators are a key component of global biodiversity, providing vital ecosystem services to crops and wild plants. There is clear evidence of recent declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in the plants that rely upon them. Here we describe the nature and extent of reported declines, and review the potential drivers of pollinator loss, including habitat loss ...

متن کاملThe Macroeconomic Cost of Catastrophic Pollinator Declines
A computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach is used to assess the macroeconomic effects of global and regional catastrophic losses of pollination ecosystem services. Results show economic risks to both direct crop sectors and indirect non-crop sectors in the economy, with a substantial amount of regional heterogeneity. In addition, there exists potential for winners, those regions with a co...
متن کاملEconomic Consequences of Pollinator Declines: A Synthesis
This paper surveys the literature on pollinator declines and related concerns regarding global food security. Methods for valuing the economic risks associated with pollinator declines are also reviewed. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach is introduced to assess the effects of a global catastrophic loss of pollinators. There appears to be evidence supporting a trend towards future ...
متن کاملLand-Use Drivers of Infectious Disease Emergence
VOLUME 112 | NUMBER 10 | July 2004 • Environmental Health Perspectives Human-induced land use changes are the primary drivers of a range of infectious disease outbreaks and emergence events and also modifiers of the transmission of endemic infections (Patz et al. 2000).
