Supply of and demand for wild pollinator habitat in the Southeast United States - 2022 Updates (ver. 2.0, February 2023)

Wild insect pollination has significant positive effects on pollinator-dependent crop production. To assess the spatial distribution of potential wild insect pollination, we mapped the supply of potential wild pollinator habitat (forest, grassland, wetland, and shrubland land cover types) and the demand for pollination (directly pollinator-dependent crops). A foraging travel distance for temperate native bees (1308 meters) was used to identify wild pollinator habitat that is within foraging range of pollinator-dependent crops, and pollinator-dependent crops that are within foraging range of pollinator habitat. Version 2.0 provides an update to the previous version with the inclusion of data from 2013, 2016, and 2019.
