Fig 8. Seasonal patterns in the proportion of available daily pollen contributed by individual plant species for Edinburgh meadows sown with A. perennial, B. annual A1, and C. annual A2 treatments.

The percentage of estimated total meadow pollen volume attributable to each species is indicated by the height of the filled polygon for that species at a given seasonal time point. Values at each time point are based on 100x 1m² quadrats across 5 replicate meadows at each time point for each meadow treatment. Note that in both annual and perennial treatments, native perennial weeds contributed up to 100% of nectar and pollen resources early in the year.
