Data for: Critical habitat thresholds for effective pollinator conservation in agricultural landscapes

Abstract

Biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes is declining, but evidence-based conservation targets to guide international policies for such landscapes are lacking. We present a framework for informing habitat conservation policies based on the enhancement of habitat quantity and quality and define thresholds of habitat quantity at which it becomes effective to also prioritize habitat quality. We applied this framework to pollinators, an important part of agroecosystem biodiversity, by synthesizing 59 studies from 19 countries.
