In natural systems, pollinator-mediated facilitation in plant communities is thought to occur through several mechanisms. First, coexisting plants may attract greater numbers of shared pollinators by providing aggregate floral displays greater than a single species alone44. Facilitation may also occur when species with staggered blooming periods support pollinator populations by reducing spatial and temporal variation in floral resource availability49. In this case, the consecutive bloom of plant species increases the duration of floral resource availability within years or the reliability of floral resources across years50. These same dynamics may be particularly important for pollinator communities in agricultural systems where crop rotation or extreme weather events can lead to high variability in floral resource abundance among seasons and years. If the greater abundance, diversity and duration of floral resources can be achieved through complementarity of flowering crops, later blooming crops such as strawberry may even support the pollination services of earlier mass flowering crops in the following year51.
