Handbook of pollinators early sping terophytic grasslands

This handbook aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on plant-pollinator interactions within Helianthemetea guttati therophytic grasslands. Its primary objectives are:- To describe the ecological characteristics and biogeographical distribution of these annual Mediterranean communities.- To identify key pollinator groups and their functional traits, highlighting their role in sustaining ephemeral floral resources.- To analyze the structure of pollination networks and the drivers shaping interaction diversity.- To examine the influence of environmental variability, land-use change, and global change pressures on pollinator activity and community resilience.- To provide guidelines and applications for conservation and restoration, emphasizing the value of therophytic habitats in Mediterranean landscapes.
