GIS-models work well, but are not enough: Habitat preferences of Lanius collurio at multiple levels and conservation implications (2009, background): “The habitat structure characterising shrike territories (mowed or grazed grasslands with partial shrub cover, hedgerow occurrence, small areas of untilled surfaces) can be suitable to a large number of species, both of birds (Tucker and Evans, 1997) and other taxa (Pykala, 2003).”
Effects of livestock breed and grazing intensity on biodiversity and production in grazing systems. 1. Nutritive value of herbage and livestock performance (2007, background): “Evidence also shows the potential of grazing for restoring biodiversity on semi-natural unimproved grassland that had been abandoned from agricultural use for some years, and therefore had lost species ( Pykala, 2003; Lindborg and Eriksson, 2004; Hellstro ¨ m et al., 2005).”
Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “High grazing intensity is usually recommended to maintain and restore high species richness of vascular plants in grasslands (Pykälä, 2003; Pykälä et al., 2005), but this may be less suitable for birds and insects (Söderström et al.”
Plant species responses to cattle grazing in mesic semi-natural grassland (2005, background): “The effectiveness of grassland restoration made by private farmers (Pykälä, 2003) is poorly documented.”
Interaction of Plant Species Diversity on Grazing Behavior and Performance of Livestock Grazing Temperate Region Pastures (2007, background): “The positive effect of moderate grazing on diversity has been used to help restore species-rich northern European grasslands (Pykala, 2003).”
Plant species richness and persistence of rare plants in abandoned semi-natural grasslands in northern Europe (2005, background): “The abandonment of semi-natural grasslands generally causes a decline in plant species richness (Bakker, 1989, 1998; Hansson & Fogelfors, 2000; Pykälä, 2003).”
Safe sites for tree regeneration in wooded pastures: A case of associational resistance? (2005, background): “The mainly dry, calcareous grasslands are mostly of the Mesobrometum type, harbouring some of the most species-rich plant communities of Central Europe (Gallandat et al. 1995; Schläpfer et al. 1998; Vittoz 1998; Pykala 2003).”
RESTORATION OF BUTTERFLY AND MOTH COMMUNITIES IN SEMI-NATURAL GRASSLANDS BY CATTLE GRAZING (2004, methodology): “Ecological Applications Vol. 14, No. 6 In a parallel study of vascular plant communities, Pykälä (2003) reported that species richness had started to increase in restored pastures, although it had not yet reached the high level observed in old pastures.”
Cattle grazing increases plant species richness of most species trait groups in mesic semi-natural grasslands (2005, background): “However, in new pastures the mean grazing pressure was lower than in old pastures Pykälä 2003 , which may have slowed the vegetation change following the restart of grazing.”
Responses of butterfly and moth species to restored cattle grazing in semi-natural grasslands (2005, methodology): “…species richness (positive indicator species) The number of vascular plant species indicating well managed and low- nutrient semi-natural grassland (see Pykälä, 2003) Vascular plant species density (average) The mean of vascular plant species observed within 1-m2 sample squares (15 squares per…”
