Description for Pollination Biology: Biodiversity Conservation and Agricultural Production
Hardback. Offering a unique blend of pure and applied science placed in a broader human social context, this book discusses the interplay among pollinators, agriculture and the environment. Covers the biochemical basis of pollination, the role of bees and more. Num Pages: 792 pages, 10 black & white tables, 10 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSTL; PSVT7; TVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 166 x 242 x 51. Weight in Grams: 1368.
This book has a wider approach not strictly focused on crop production compared to other books that are strictly oriented towards bees, but has a generalist approach to pollination biology. It also highlights relationships between introduced and wild pollinators and consequences of such introductions on communities of wild pollinating insects. The chapters on biochemical basis of plant-pollination interaction, pollination energetics, climate change and pollinators and pollinators as bioindicators of ecosystem functioning provide a base for future insights into pollination biology. The role of honeybees and wild bees on crop pollination, value of bee pollination, planned honeybee pollination, non-bee pollinators, safety ... Read more

Reviews for Pollination Biology: Biodiversity Conservation and Agricultural Production
From the reviews: “Abrol … covers the topic encyclopedically and exhaustively, and the book’s timing is important due to the increasing number of observations of declines in pollinator populations (mostly bees) locally and globally. … The author … takes a global view of these problems and provides a multitude of examples and solutions from both the developed and developing ...
