Landscape composition and configuration differently affect trap-nesting bees, wasps and their antagonists (2014, background): “The management of grasslands determines vegetation structure and richness and thus the availability of resources for arthropod communities (Borer et al., 2012; Socher et al., 2012).”
Interacting effects of fertilization, mowing and grazing on plant species diversity of 1500 grasslands in Germany differ between regions (2013, background): “In a subset of 150 plots we found linearly negative instead of a hump-shaped relationship etween productivity and diversity (Socher et al. 2012).”
Diversity and trait composition of moths respond to land-use intensification in grasslands: generalists replace specialists (2017, background): “The decline in resource plant species richness and higher plant biomass production due to combined mowing and fertilization (Lee et al. 2010; Socher et al. 2012) is causing a loss of specialist herbivore species and an increase in generalists (Gámez-Virués et al.”
Grassland management intensification weakens the associations among the diversities of multiple plant and animal taxa (2015, result): “This result is consistent with previous ﬁndings showing that increased mowing frequency and fertilization rates are more detrimental for biodiversity than increased grazing intensity (Ausden 2007, Socher et al. 2012).”
