These nutrient shifts could impact bee growth, development, and overall fitness in future climate scenarios.
Researchers used the BIFoR-FACE facility in Staffordshire, UK, to study oak pollen under climate change conditions. They compared pollen from trees exposed to ambient CO2 levels with those under elevated CO2 (+150 ppm) over five years. The team analysed 12 elements in pollen-bearing flowers, including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and various minerals.
