Eric Lonsdorf (Lead Scientist) and Christopher Nootenboom (Researcher) with the Natural Capital Project team at the University of Minnesota provide a fun and informative overview of the Crop Pollination model.
The InVEST Crop Pollination model focuses on wild pollinators providing an ecosystem service. The model estimates insect pollinator nest sites, floral resources, and flight ranges to derive an index of pollinator abundance on each cell on a landscape. If desired, the model can create an index of the value of these pollinators to agricultural production and attributes this value back to source cells.
