Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, background): “In addition, orthopterans are good indicators for grassland ecosystems health as they respond strongly to management intensification, both by decreasing species number and population density (Baldi and Kisbenedek, 1997; Fischer et al., 1997; Marini et al., 2008; Van Wingerden et al., 1992).”
Herbivore and pollinator responses to grassland management intensity along experimental changes in plant species richness (2012, result): “, 2010), whereas other studies showed a decrease of grasshopper individuals in fertilization treatments mediated by changes in the vegetation structure (Wingerden et al., 1992; Marini et al., 2008).”
Impact of farm size and topography on plant and insect diversity of managed grasslands in the Alps (2009, background): “…is considered one of the most important factors limiting orthopteran populations due to mortality caused by the physical process of mowing (Gardiner and Hill, 2006; Marini et al., 2008) and possible high sward temperatures created by removal of the standing biomass (Gardiner and Hassall, 2008).”
Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “Nevertheless, we have only found five studies which compare the relative influence of landscape- and field-scale factors on grassland vegetation (Dauber et al. 2003; Le Coeur et al. 1997; Marini et al. 2008; Weibull and Östman 2003; Weibull et al. 2003).”
How does grazing intensity influence the diversity of plants and insects in a species‐rich upland grassland on basalt soils? (2009, background): “…(Weibull et al., 2000; Benton et al., 2003; Marini et al., 2008), they are also highly sensitive to local field management and the impact of grazing herbivores on small-scale vegetation structure (Collinge et al., 2003; Klimek et al., 2007; Wallis De Vries et al., 2007; Marini et al., 2008).”
Agricultural management, vegetation traits and landscape drive orthopteran and butterfly diversity in a grassland–forest mosaic: a multi‐scale approach (2009, background): “Orthopteran diversity may benefit from low-input fertilisation as the less dense and tall structure provides more suitable microhabitats (Marini et al., 2008).”
Orthoptera as ecological indicators for succession in steppe grassland (2012, background): “Hence, prescribed burning, if applied in a mosaic-like pattern (Fartmann, 2010; Marini et al., 2010; Möllenbeck et al., 2009), might be a suitable accompanying measure.”
