Pollinator communities in urban and peri-urban turfgrass remain poorly characterized despite the ubiquity of lawns and growing interest in management practices that enhance floral resources within these otherwise resource-limited environments. To address this gap, we evaluated the effectiveness of active (sweep netting at multiple times of day) and passive (molasses traps and blue, white, and yellow pan traps) sampling methods...

Aims We quantified the relative significance of phosphorus (P) availability quantity and rate of P desorbed to plant growth using ion exchange membranes on three soils (0–10 cm), initially under native vegetation and converted to either cropping, pasture, or plantation for up to 115 years. Methods Soil P availability parameters were measured by the widely used sodium bicarbonate test (Colwell P), anion exchange membranes and a...

Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α‐diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ‐diversity), either due to reduced β‐diversity amplifying diversity loss or increased β‐diversity dampening diversity loss. Additionally, studies often focus on taxo...
