• Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “3, upper and second photos; Fischer and Wipf 2002; Jacquemyn et al. 2003; Kruess and Tscharntke 2002), for example, mowing seems to favor forbs (Stammel et al. 2003).”
• The Palaearctic steppe biome: a new synthesis (2016, background): “Large secondary steppe-like grasslands have been created in Europe outside the steppe biome by tree cutting and are maintained by traditional grazing or hay-making (Fischer and Wipf 2002; Hejcman et al. 2013; Poschlod et al. 2009).”
• Scale- and taxon-dependent biodiversity patterns of dry grassland vegetation in Transylvania (2014, background): “So far, the findings of the few studies in European grassland types are heterogeneous regarding vascular plant richness in meadows vs. pastures (e.g. Fischer and Wipf, 2002; Hansson and Fogelfors, 2000; Stammel et al., 2003; Wellstein et al., 2007).”
• Livestock Type is More Crucial Than Grazing Intensity: Traditional Cattle and Sheep Grazing in Short‐Grass Steppes (2018, unknown): “Previous research have found that low-intensity extensive grazing had a positive effect, while high intensity grazing had a negative effect on grassland diversity (Fischer & Wipf, 2002, Metera et al., 2010).”
• Plant species responses to cattle grazing in mesic semi-natural grassland (2005, background): “Several studies have shown that the flora of seminatural grassland cannot be restored solely by grazing, but that mowing was equally important (Hansson and Fogelfors, 2000; Fischer and Wipf, 2002; Mitlacher et al., 2002).”

• Restoration of grazing management and its effect on vegetation in an upland grassland (2007, background): “Therefore, extensive grazing is frequently recommended as an alternative way of managing semi-natural hay meadows (Bakker 1998; Adler et al. 2001; Bakker et al. 2004), but not in all type of grasslands (Fisher & Wipf 2002).”
