Restoration potential of the persistent soil seed bank in successional calcareous (alvar) grasslands in Estonia (2012, background): “…grassland vegetation that is very similar in nature to alvar grassland is nonetheless present at other sites in Europe (Gibson & Brown 1991; WallisDeVries et al. 2002; Dengler & Löbel 2006) and elsewhere (Schaefer & Larson 1997; Cantero et al. 1999; Stark et al. 2003; Tomlinson et al.…”
Habitat fragmentation causes immediate and time-delayed biodiversity loss at different trophic levels (2010, methodology): “Between 1900 and 1960 the habitat loss in this region was only 25 % (WallisDeVries et al. 2002).”
Effects of landscape and habitat quality on butterfly communities in pre-alpine calcareous grasslands (2012, background): “Both have led to a severe decline of this habitat type across Europe (WallisDeVries et al., 2002).”
Ecological specialization matters: long‐term trends in butterfly species richness and assemblage composition depend on multiple functional traits (2015, background): “These lag times may be particularly long if available habitat networks are fragmented, but still maintain populations just above the extinction threshold (Hanski & Ovaskainen, 2002; WallisDeVries et al., 2002).”
A Quantitative Conservation Approach for the Endangered Butterfly Maculinea alcon (2004, background): “Many butterfly species are sensitive to the spatial and temporal scales at which management is applied (Butterflies under Threat Team 1986; WallisDeVries 2002; WallisDeVries et al. 2002).”
RESTORATION OF BUTTERFLY AND MOTH COMMUNITIES IN SEMI-NATURAL GRASSLANDS BY CATTLE GRAZING (2004, background): “…intensive grazing regimes with respect to other organisms has until very recently been lacking (Niemelä and Baur 1998, Kruess and Tscharntke 2002b, WallisDeVries et al. 2002, Vessby et al. 2002), similar intensive grazing regimes have been widely applied in the management of semi-natural…”
Effects of habitat area, isolation, and landscape diversity on plant species richness of calcareous grasslands (2004, background): “Semi-natural calcareous grasslands belong to the most species-rich plant and insect habitats in central Europe (Van Swaay 2002; WallisDeVries et al. 2002).”
Establishment and persistence of target species in newly created calcareous grasslands on former arable fields (2007, unknown): “…Ecology, Technische Universität München, Am Hochanger 6, D-85350 Freising, Germany e-mail: kiehl@wzw.tum.de is often too small to ensure long-term maintenance of viable populations of typical highly specialised plant and animal species (e.g. Fischer and Stöcklin 1997; WallisDeVries et al. 2002).”
European grassland ecosystems: threatened hotspots of biodiversity (2013, background): “intensification, abandonment, afforestation, or transformation of arable fields (WallisDeVries et al. 2002; Öckinger et al. 2006; Veen et al. 2009; Valkó et al. 2012).”
Evaluation of Initial Restoration Measures during the Restoration of Calcareous Grasslands on Former Arable Fields (2006, background): “Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation are the major reasons for species extinction in European seminatural grasslands (Fischer & Stöcklin 1997; WallisDeVries et al. 2002).”
