Call	Addressing wild pollinators decline and its effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services
Description of call "Addressing wild pollinators decline and its effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services"	For this call actions should address the relations between plant diversity and pollinator diversity, competition for floral resources and interchangeability, as well as factors determining spatio-temporal variation of pollinator communities, including ecological and human factors such as land use change, agricultural land management and climate change.
