Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect Diversified floral resources mitigated negative neonicotinoid effects on Osmia cornifrons bees.
- Intervention effect None of the treatments detectably affected rapeseed yield.
- Recommendation Diversified flower resources in Chinese agricultural landscapes are an important policy argument for pollinator protection.
