Rhinanthus minor L. (2004, background): “To investigate the diversification of an upland Lolium perenne–Cynosurus cristatus meadow (MG5; Rodwell 1992), Smith et al. (2000) sowed various species, including R. minor, into experimental plots under several cutting and grazing treatments.”
Enhancing floral resources for pollinators in productive agricultural grasslands (2014, background): “The combination of early and late season grazing management strategies has also been shown to have beneficial effects on floral diversity in mesotrophic grasslands (Smith et al., 2000).”
Soil microbial community, fertility, vegetation and diversity as targets in the restoration management of a meadow grassland (2003, background): “In 1998 all main treatments in the Colt Park experiment had affected plant species richness, with increases particularly enhanced by the combination of 21 July hay cut, autumn and spring grazing, and the sowing of seed in 1990–92 (Smith et al. 2000).”
Long‐term change in vegetation and soil microbial communities during the phased restoration of traditional meadow grassland (2008, background): “Interactions between treatments had a major influence on vegetation in phase 2, 6 just as in phase 1 (Smith et al. 2000), despite accounting for a relatively small proportion 7 of the variation in species composition.”
Effects of grazing by horses and/or cattle on the diversity of coastal grasslands in western France (2004, background): “The impact of large herbivores on the structure and composition of plant communities has been studied over a large range of ecosystems and shown to depend on grazing intensity (Bakker, 1989; Bullock et al., 1994; Smith and Rushton, 1994; Kiehl et al., 1996), grazing season (Bullock et al., 1994; Gra”
Effects of restoration with cattle grazing on plant species composition and richness of semi-natural grasslands (2003, background): “2001) or mesic wooded meadows (Austad and Losvik 1998; Kotiluoto 1998), or in studies on restoration of agriculturally improved grasslands in the temperate region (Bakker 1989; Smith et al. 2000).”
Effects of habitat deterioration on population dynamics and extinction risk of an endangered, long‐lived perennial herb (Scorzonera humilis) (2006, background): “It may take some time before productivity levels decrease to levels that allow recruitment (Oomes & van der Werf 1996; Smith et al. 2000; Colling et al. 2002).”
The relationship between local extinctions of grassland butterflies and increased soil nitrogen levels (2006, background): “At a local scale, factors such as changed grazing regimes and increased soil nutrients as a result of fertilizing are likely to change the plant community (Smith et al., 2000), with cascading effects on higher trophic levels (e.g., Pywell et al., 2004).”
A plant trait analysis of responses to grazing in a long-term experiment (2001, background): “Experiments on vegetation responses to grazing management in temperate grasslands have studied the effects of season of sheep grazing on regenerating chalk grassland (Gibson, Watt & Brown 1987; Gibson & Brown 1992), season of sheep and cattle grazing on mesotrophic meadows (Smith & Rushton 1994; Sm”
Assessing grassland restoration success: relative roles of seed additions and native ungulate activities (2006, background): “Moderate grazing would therefore be expected to produce non-linear effects on diversity in restorations, with higher levels of diversity at intermediate grazing intensities ( Smith et al . 2000 ).”
