New paper: Combined ozone + NOx impairs pollinator performance more than either pollutant alone, but the effect is sub-additive because the two pollutants interact and partially offset each other.
This has implications for the energy transition: ground-level ozone is still projected to rise until mid-century before declining. Faster NOx cuts would shorten that peak and speed up pollinator recovery. 🐝
