Dry grassland plant diversity conservation using low-intensity sheep and goat grazing management: case study in Prague (Czech Republic) (2008, result): “Our findings thus confirm the conclusions of the study of Klimek et al. (2007) who found that grazing at a low stocking rate can support biodiversity conservation.”
Plant trait–digestibility relationships across management and climate gradients in permanent grasslands (2014, background): “At the field scale, grassland management for production usually conflicts with grassland management for conservation or other purposes (Klimek et al. 2007).”
Direct and productivity‐mediated indirect effects of fertilization, mowing and grazing on grassland species richness (2012, background): “PRODUCTIV ITY IN GRASSLANDS Many previous studies have demonstrated the effects of single, often categorical, land-use parameters including fertiliza- tion (Gough et al. 2000; Crawley et al. 2005), grazing (Collins 1998; Klimek et al. 2007) and mowing (Zechmeister et al. 2003) on species richness.”
Impact of farm size and topography on plant and insect diversity of managed grasslands in the Alps (2009, result): “…biodiversity has seldom been tested with a targeted sampling design (but see Guretzky et al., 2007), and never along with farm structure, although the positive relationship between slope and plant diversity has indirectly been reported in several studies (Maurer et al., 2006; Klimek et al., 2007).”
Scale- and taxon-dependent biodiversity patterns of dry grassland vegetation in Transylvania (2014, background): “By contrast, in northern central and northern Europe, where extreme summer drought is not an issue, solar radiation has repeatedly been shown to have a positive effect on grassland diversity (Klimek et al., 2007; Olsson et al., 2009; Pykälä et al., 2005).”
Diversity and trait composition of moths respond to land-use intensification in grasslands: generalists replace specialists (2017, background): “Not all taxa or functional groups are equally affected (Weiner et al. 2014; Winfree et al. 2008), and our results confirm that land use acts as an environmental filter (Klimek et al. 2007; Kühsel and Blüthgen 2015; Loder et al. 1998).”
Direct and indirect effects of nitrogen deposition on species composition change in calcareous grasslands (2011, background): “4a and b. r 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2486.2010.02345.x stocking rates maintains species diversity by reducing the number of competitive species (Collins et al., 1998; Olff & Ritchie, 1998; Klimek et al., 2007).”
