In a recent study researchers unveiled a concerning discovery: air pollution is disrupting the delicate balance between flowering plants and their pollinators. The study showed that pollutants like nitrate radicals and ozone can mask the scents of flowers, making them harder for pollinators to find.
The study explained that the diverse bouquet of scents emitted by flowers is crucial for attracting pollinators. However, nitrate radicals diminish a flower's scent reach, hindering its ability to attract pollinators before the scent dissipates.
The study suggests that primroses may experience a 28% decline in seed production due to moths' inability to locate the flowers. This disruption in pollination could have far-reaching consequences for ecosystems and food security.
