• Habitat diversity of central European fens in relation to environmental gradients and an effort to standardise fen terminology in ecological studies (2006, background): “The recent cessation of traditional mowing for hay-making causes the disappearance of fen species and paradoxically it increases the representation of nutrient-requiring grassland species (Diemer et al., 2001; Hájek et al., 2002).”
• Restoring grassland biodiversity: Sowing low-diversity seed mixtures can lead to rapid favourable changes (2010, background): “The accumulated plant litter decreases the irradiance of the soil surface (Stevenson et al., 1995; Diemer et al., 2001), decreases the success of germination (Xiong and Nilsson, 1999; Overbeck et al.”
• Abandonment of agricultural land: an overview of drivers and consequences (2007, background): “competitive exclusion [79], invasion of exotic plants [80], litter accumulation [81] and increased predation [82].”
• Is regular mowing the most appropriate and cost-effective management maintaining diversity and biomass of target forbs in mountain hay meadows? (2012, unknown): “In accordance with others it was found that dominant Molinia arundinacea can be suppressed by mowing in fen meadows (Diemer et al., 2001; Valkó et al., 2011).”
• Restoration Potential in Seed Banks of Acidic Fen and Dry‐Mesophilous Meadows: Can Restoration Be Based on Local Seed Banks? (2011, background): “Due to the changes in agroenvironmental schemes in the last few decades, an increased abandonment of these meadows was reported from many regions in Central–Europe (Stampfli & Zeiter 1999; Diemer et al. 2001; Poschlod et al. 2005).”
