Comparative pollinator conservation potential of coffee agroforestry relative to coffee monoculture and tropical rainforest in the DR Congo

J. Depecker, F. Vandelook, K. Jordaens, A. Dorchin, B. Ntumba, I. Broeckhoven, B. Dhed'a, A. Devriese, L. Deckers, P. Stoffelen, O. Honnay

This study compares pollinator communities in coffee agroforestry, monoculture, and tropical rainforest in DR Congo, finding agroforestry less effective than rainforest for pollinator conservation.
