How fundamental plant functional trait relationships scale‐up to trade‐offs and synergies in ecosystem services (2012, background): “Furthermore, considering that competition for light results in mixed size communities, especially in tall vegetation (Falster & Westoby 2003), wemight expect the size axis to translate into a gradient of complexity in vegetation structure (Pöyry et al. 2006).”
Contrasting trends of butterfly species preferring semi-natural grasslands, field margins and forest edges in northern Europe (2007, background): “intermediate vegetation height (Erhardt and Thomas 1991; Balmer and Erhardt 2000; Pöyry et al. 2006).”
Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “Many invertebrate groups tolerate the effects of grazing poorly compared to plants (Pöyry et al., 2006).”
The effects of large herbivore grazing on meadow steppe plant and insect diversity (2012, background): “It is commonly understood that insect diversity responds to other aspects of the plant community and that taller vegetation supports more insect species (Treweek, Watt & Hambler 1997; Pöyry et al. 2006).”
Homogenization of lepidopteran communities in intensively cultivated agricultural landscapes (2010, unknown): “By contrast, butterflies (Pöyry et al. 2006) and other arthropods (Morris 2000) tend to be negatively affected by moderate and high levels of cattle grazing and can show relatively high diversity on nutrient rich soils, with a species poor but structurally diverse vegetation (see also Marini et al.”
How too much care kills species: Grassland reserves, agri-environmental schemes and extinction of Colias myrmidone (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) from its former stronghold (2008, background): “Mechanisms behind the need are being discovered at an increasing rate (Ouin et al. 2004; Liu et al. 2006; Poyry et al. 2006 ), but still remain neglected by both managers of reserves and designers of large-scale environmental programs such as AES.”
Effects of vegetation structure and floristic diversity on detritivore, herbivore and predatory invertebrates within calcareous grasslands (2009, background): “Management aimed at promoting high floristic diversity in grasslands is typically associated with a reduction in sward height and a resulting simplification of architectural complexity (Morris 2000; Pöyry et al. 2006).”
