| The açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) is native to the flooded forests (várzeas) of the estuarine Amazonian delta region of Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. The fruit of the açaí palm (?açaí?) has long been a staple food of local riverine communities in this region, and more recently, an important source of income due to growing domestic and international demand for the fruit. Yet, despite the huge ecological, economic and cultural importance of açaí, understanding of its pollination requirements are limited. Furthermore, increased demand for the fruit is driving plantation of açaí in areas of physiologically-unsuitable terra firme (dry) habitat, which often require additional inputs (e.g. irrigation, fertilizer), as well as the rapid conversion of native... |

| Ecological intensification, or the improvement of crop yield through enhancement of biodiversity, may be a sustainable pathway toward greater food supplies. Such sustainable increases may be especially important for the 2 billion people reliant on small farms, many of which are undernourished, yet we know little about the efficacy of this approach. Using a coordinated protocol across regions and crops, we quantify to what degree enhancing pollinator density and richness can improve yields on 344 fields from 33 pollinator-dependent crop systems in small and large farms from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. For fields less than 2 hectares, we found that yield gaps could be closed by a median of 24% through higher flower-visitor density. For larger fields,... |
