Losers, winners, and opportunists: How grassland land‐use intensity affects orthopteran communities (2016, background): “Indeed, in the sampled grasslands researchers also found a strong decrease in plant diversity with increasing land- use intensity (Socher et al. 2013, Simons et al. 2014), corresponding to the decline in Orthoptera species diversity.”
Factors controlling decomposition rates of fine root litter in temperate forests and grasslands (2014, methodology): “In 2009, we recorded vegetation data in 20 m×20 m forest plots in spring and summer (for details see Boch et al. 2013), and in 4 m×4 m grassland plots only once in summer (for details see Socher et al. 2013).”
Agrochemicals in field margins – An experimental field study to assess the impacts of pesticides and fertilizers on a natural plant community (2014, background): “glomerata (as in our study) benefit from fertilization because they can increase in abundance over smaller herbs (Socher et al., 2013).”
