Management effects on the vegetation and soil seed bank of calcareous grasslands: An 11-year experiment (2011, unknown): “Similar to previous studies (Willems, 1990; Kahmen et al., 2002), abandonment of grazing resulted in a dramatic decline in species richness and a significant change in floristic composition.”
Changing land use and its impact on biodiversity (2005, background): “Other important traits related to competitive ability such as plant height and SLA, reflecting growth rate (Grime, 2001; Grime, 1979; Westoby, 1998) and germination period are also crucial (Kahmen et al., 2002).”
Effects of shrub encroachment on herbage production and nutritive value in semi-arid Mediterranean grasslands (2007, background): “Other authors report that floristic composition and species richness are strongly dependent on management (Debussche et al., 1996; Lavorel et al., 1999; Kahmen et al., 2002; Moog et al., 2002).”
Impact of abundance weighting on the response of seed traits to climate and land use (2008, result): “This agrees with some experimental findings (Reader 1993; Eriksson & Eriksson 1997; Kahmen et al. 2002; Sternberg et al. 2003).”
Limestone Quarries as Refuges for European Xerophilous Butterflies (2003, background): “Balmer and Erhardt (2000) showed that the requirements of these species are rarely met by management techniques commonly applied in reserves of warm grasslands in Central Europe, which generally aim to support charismatic plants (e.g., orchids) by scrub removal and mowing (Kahmen et al. 2002 ).”
Local and landscape management drive trait‐mediated biodiversity of nine taxa on small grassland fragments (2015, background): “Grazing also generates and maintains areas of open soil that are important, for example, as nesting sites for bees (Westrich, 1989) and for the establishment of plant seedlings (Kahmen et al., 2002).”
Dry grassland plant diversity conservation using low-intensity sheep and goat grazing management: case study in Prague (Czech Republic) (2008, background): “Occasional or regular mowing of accessible spots or impact of fire caused positive influence on development of this vegetation type (Kubı́ková 1999; Kahmen et al. 2002).”
Comparison of species composition between different grassland management treatments after 25 years (2002, result): “Similar results were found in an earlier analysis of vegetation from Sankt Johann (Kahmen et al. 2002). Species composition differed between mulching and mowing on one hand and grazing on the other. Bobbink & Willems (1993) found that mowing twice a year was most appropriate for the restoration of c”
