pollination

From pollination, to being an essential food source, to helping the decaying process.

Poor pollination and high temperatures negatively affect how much cacao the trees produce, the researchers report in a study published in February.

The mechanism of the plant's pollination has similarly remained unclear.

A new study reveals alarming risks that pesticides pose to ground-nesting bees, which are crucial for pollination and food production.

As explained by the AP, pistachio orchards “can be sustained with minimal water during drought” and their trees “rely on wind instead of bees for pollination and can produce nuts for decades longer.”
