Arctic climate change and Pollination, RiS number 6577

Tildelt: kr 76 619

Insects and plants may respond to climate change factors in different ways, causing the close associations between them to become disrupted, or even decoupled, subsequently affecting ecological communities, processes and functions. However, interactions between plants and pollinators are rarely considered in this context. This study aims to address this by testing the impacts of variable snow melt and elevated temperature, alone and in combination, on such species interactions in the high Arctic. The main objective is to demonstrate the extent to which the timing of snow melt and increases in temperature can lead to disruptions in interactions between flowering plants and pollinators.
