TL;DR: A spatial habitat model, national land-cover data, and carefully quantified expert knowledge are used to estimate wild bee abundance and associated uncertainty, and it is found that the crops most highly dependent on pollinators tend to experience more severe mismatches between declining supply and increasing demand.

TL;DR: For management comparisons, biodiversity of ‘service providers' predicts ES more often than biodiversity of functionally unrelated taxa, but the opposite is true for spatial correlations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tracked use of The Natural Capital Project's InVEST models and observed 19 different models were run 43,363 times in 104 countries over a 25-month period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified landscape pattern at multiple scales and created an agricultural intensity index that represents farm management practices such as pesticide use, mowed and grain crop area, and observed native bee visitation to assess the supply of pollination service provided to blueberry growers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified how accounting for demand affects the efficiency of conservation in capturing both human benefits and biodiversity by comparing conservation priorities identified with and without accounting for demands, and highlighted the importance of incorporating demand when quantifying ecosystem services for conservation planning.
