Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most flowering plants rely on animals for pollination. However, there is an ongoing concern that anthropogenic-induced global change threatens pollinators and alter species phenology and, thus, threatens the service animal pollinators provide to plants. Two of the most important factors of global change are land-use and climate change. This Special Issue aims at highlighting new research that contributes to the understanding of: i) how land-use and/or climate influence plant–pollinator interactions, ii) the economic consequences of land-use and/or climate impacts on plant–pollinator interactions, such as crop plants and their pollinators, and iii) conservation implications of land-use and/or climate impacts on plant–pollinator interactions, for instance between threatened plants and their pollinators. We welcome studies on both natural systems and human modified landscapes, such as agricultural systems. The spatial scale of the studies may range from detailed local studies to the global scale.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
