Maintaining semi-natural open habitats requires biomass removal, which can be achieved by extensive grazing with livestock species. However, implement...

In intensively farmed agricultural landscapes, many species are confined to very small uncultivated areas such as field margins. However, it has been ...

Land-use change can disrupt associations between different trophic groups, but it is unclear if habitat restoration can recover these associations. In...

1. Conservation of species associated with semi-natural grasslands, a threatened habitat, is dependent on their ability to disperse between the few an...

It is well documented that large herbivores have pronounced effects on plant communities in grassland ecosystems, and the extent and course of their e...

Species-rich grasslands are of high conservation value because of the diverse floral and faunal assemblages they support. Intensive agriculture has re...

The stable delivery of ecosystem services provided by grasslands is strongly dependent on the stability of grassland ecosystem functions such as bioma...

Colonization by woody plants is often very slow or absent on grasslands occupying degraded land in the tropics. Seed dispersal limitation is widely re...

Soil seed banks of 38 grassland sites in western Europe (Germany, Netherlands, UK and Spain) were sampled and species composition was determined. All ...
