As natural habitat for bee populations, forests
provide pollination services to adjacent coffee
areas. The value of these services can be determined
by comparing forest destruction scenarios with a
reference situation, where coffee yields depend on
the distance to forests. We found that the main
economic impact, measured as net revenue per
hectare, takes place within a distance of 400 m of forest patches and is highly influenced by the
management system. The Indonesian case study
showed a moderate decline in net coffee revenues
because of an extensive management system. In
Ecuador, more intensive coffee management,
including a higher percentage of fixed costs, caused
a steep decline in net revenues when adjacent forests
were destroyed. Nevertheless, the absolute value of
pollination services is similar in both regions.
