Regeneration of sandy old-fields in the forest steppe region of Hungary (2011, background): “…type, biotic and abiotic conditions of the site, surrounding landscape, duration and intensity of previous land use have all been shown to affect recovery (Prach et al. 1993; Martı́nez-Ruiz et al. 2001; Bartha et al. 2003; Prach & Rehounková 2006; Cousins & Aggemyr 2008; Szabó & Prach 2009).”
The ecology of restoration: historical links, emerging issues and unexplored realms (2005, background): “Interannual variations in establishment success (Bartha et al. 2003), also known as year effects , have been a persistent problem for ecological restoration practitioners, who often have only a single planting year to achieve their project goals.”
Impact of mid‐successional dominant species on the diversity and progress of succession in regenerating temperate grasslands (2014, background): “%) colonize as early as the first 5 yr of regeneration dynamics (Bartha et al. 2003).”
Seminatural grassland management by mowing of Calamagrostis epigejos in Hungary (2011, background): “Mowing decreased the cover of C. epigejos and also the amount of the C. epigejos litter, i.e. mowing probably ‘‘switched off’’ the establishment limitation and it opened a ‘‘successional window’’ (Johnstone 1986; Bartha et al. 2003) for colonizing species.”
