The restoration of natural landscape elements is a frequently adopted pathway to improve wild pollinator abundance, diversity, and their pollination services in intensively used agricultural landscapes. However, pollinators the intended refuges can become exposed agrochemicals when foraging surrounding fields. In order effectively design conservation measures such as habitat or pesticide reduction schemes, effect land use configuration on exposure service requires further investigation. We developed model that extends existing approaches by simulating both flights concurrent toxic pesticides, enabling estimation impacts services. calculated health for set artificial landscapes, which varied percentage agriculture, clustering these uses, well mortality hazard arising from pesticides applied agriculture. Our results show landscapes with less than 10% highly are mostly safeguarded compact patches habitat, this shelters more exposure. With increasing amount applications causing 50% pollinators, dispersed achieve better landscape. tested application different ranges realistic scenario. For shorter ranges, immediate surroundings determines achieved pollination. species longer availability resources at scale controls study highlights importance assessing spatial effects local pollinators. By applying insights, managers devise arrangements protect habitats establish buffer zones support activity pesticide-intensive As current guidelines largely lack spatially-explicit measures, we suggest direct future research policies towards underlying processes facilitation parcel, farm, scale. online version contains supplementary material available 10.1186/s13717-025-00587-z.

Abstract Effective landscape management is vital for maximizing the availability of ecosystem service functions (ESF). However, how pattern simultaneously affects multiple ESF across time and space, specifically regarding changes in their relationships, has not been comprehensively evaluated. Accordingly, current study examines dynamic impact on interactions among ES trade-offs China's Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) from 1990 to 2020. Five key are evaluated: carbon sequestration (CS), food supply (FS), habitat quality (HQ), water retention (WR), soil conservation (SC). The geographical temporal weighted regression model adopted analyze these relationships influenced by over 30 years. Over past three decades, overall amounts FS, WR, SC have increased, with only WR exhibiting a sustained increasing trend, while CS HQ significantly decreased. trade-off coordination effects generally transitioned synergies, CS–FS change more pronounced, shifting weak (− 0.29) synergies (0.20). Significant spatial variations were also observed. Most ESF. Specifically, composition stronger influence ecosystems than configuration; however, diverse often inconsistent, requiring decision-makers continuously balance management. impacts between other (CS–SC, HQ–SC, WR–SC) consistent, most prominent CS–SC. This suggests that exerts comparatively steady CS, benefiting contributions regional land parcels. These results underscore intricate responses inter-ecosystem need Cumulatively, this provides crucial guidance policymakers designing effective policies mitigate ecological degradation.
