Solitary bees collected in a large-scale field experiment in power line clearings, southeast Norway

Anthropogenic landscape elements, such as power line clearings, can be managed to provide important habitats for wild bees. However, the effects of habitat improvement schemes in power line clearings on components of diversity are poorly studied. We conducted a large‐scale experiment to test the effects of different management practices on the species, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of solitary bees in power line clearings and explored whether any treatment effects were modified by the environmental context.
