Use of sheep grazing in the restoration of semi-natural meadows in northern Finland

TL;DR: This study aimed to find out how successfully the local species richness of an overgrown semi-natural mesic meadow could be restored by sheep grazing after a long period of abandonment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Which plant traits predict species loss in calcareous grasslands with extinction debt

TL;DR: Populations more prone to local extinction were characterized by a number of life-history traits, demonstrating a greater extinction risk for species with poorer abilities for local persistence and competition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Motor vehicles as vectors of plant species from road verges in a suburban environment.

TL;DR: There was considerable temporal variation in the mud mass attached to the vehicles and therefore also the size and composition of the vehicle-borne flora varied during the year, and a larger resemblance with the flora of the zone immediately adjacent to the carriageway was found.

Effects of vegetation management and raising the water table on nutrient dynamics and vegetation change in a wet grassland.

TL;DR: The results of a restoration experiment carried out on a permanent grassland on peaty, heavy clay in the Netherlands are described in this paper, where the effect of management regime and of raising the water table on nutrient availability, dry matter production, tissue nutrient concentration, dynamics of species numbers and plant species replacement was made.

Interactions between fire and invasive plants in temperate grasslands of north america

TL;DR: A conceptual framework is presented for considering how invasive plants may interact with fire when they invade an ecosystem and what is known about how exotic species that invade temperate grasslands relate to fire.
