Article Abstract
Land-use changes, driven by agricultural intensification and urbanization, are major contributors to biodiversity loss, altering habitats and reducing available resources. These changes impact species' foraging strategies, particularly in human-modified ecosystems. While dietary shifts due to land-use changes have been well-studied in vertebrates, similar research in invertebrates, such as wild bees, remains limited. The present data paper provides a comprehensive dataset on the pollen collected from urban and rural populations of two bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius and B. pascuorum) in Switzerland, examining pollen composition, nutrient content, and diet breadth. Additionally, by analyzing pollen from both body and leg-baskets, the dataset also offers a comprehensive overview of plant-bumblebee interactions. The data help understand plant-bumblebee interactions, pollination services, nutritional supply to larvae, and the impact of land-use changes on these processes. Furthermore, the dataset can be integrated with existing plant trait data to explore the effects of non-native species and other ecological factors on bumblebee foraging and nutrition in anthropogenically modified landscapes.

Nitrogen pollution has long been a major threat to river and estuarine ecosystems around the world. However, at present, most of the research focuses on rivers and attached freshwater lakes, and the research on the nitrogen evolution characteristics and driving mechanisms of estuarine alluvial islands at river estuaries remains poorly understood. In this study, four cross-sections in Chongming District from 2021 to 2023, including Qixiaogang West Bridge, Qianweicun Bridge, Wuxiao, and Sanshahong Intersection were Sampled.

Agricultural land-use change is a key driver of biodiversity loss. Two alternative strategies have been discussed to align biodiversity conservation with agricultural production in landscapes containing agriculture: (i) land sparing, with intensive agriculture strictly separated from natural land, and (ii) land sharing, a mosaic of low-intensity agriculture and natural elements. Sparing builds on high-yielding intensive production to provide more area for natural habitats; sharing aims to support biodiversity within agricultural landscapes by employing wildlife-friendly farming practices.

Global warming over the past 70 years has been driven by rising atmospheric CO levels, largely resulting from industrialization. During this period, large quantities of alkaline waste materials were generated, many of which have the potential to capture atmospheric CO through mineral carbonation, hence offsetting some of these industrial emissions. One such material is paper mill sludge (PMS), a by-product of paper production.
