• European grassland ecosystems: threatened hotspots of biodiversity (2013, background): “intensification, abandonment, afforestation, or transformation of arable fields (WallisDeVries et al. 2002; Öckinger et al. 2006; Veen et al. 2009; Valkó et al. 2012).”
• A biodiversity-friendly rotational grazing system enhancing flower-visiting insect assemblages while maintaining animal and grassland productivity (2017, background): “cattle treatment, due to high flower cover and sward heterogeneity, as suggested by the so-called ‘trophic level’ hypothesis (Kruess and Tscharntke, 2002; Öckinger et al., 2006).”
• Emerging issues and challenges in conservation of biodiversity in the rangelands of Tanzania (2013, background): “Extensively grazed woodlands or tree-rich pastures are not uncommon in the area and mirror some of the 19th century grazing commons, although many of today’s tree-rich pastures are formerly open ones that have become more closed over time (Nilsson et al. 2008; Öckinger et al. 2006b).”
• Opportunities to enhance pollinator biodiversity in solar parks (2021, background): “Structurally diverse vegetation was associated with greater bumblebee and butterfly abundance, richness or diversity [81,152], whereas the benefits of tall vegetation were predominantly associated with butterflies, with most evidence reporting relationships between vegetation height and butterfly ab”
• Local and landscape management drive trait‐mediated biodiversity of nine taxa on small grassland fragments (2015, result): “In line with our results, these studies suggested that insect herbivores benefit from local breaks of one or a few years in grazing management, or from landscape-scale variation in grazing intensity (€Ockinger et al., 2006; P€oyry et al., 2006; Konvicka et al., 2007).”
• Diversity and trait composition of moths respond to land-use intensification in grasslands: generalists replace specialists (2017, background): “…after intensification of land-use activities by the three most common management interventions, namely grazing, mowing and fertilization (Debinski et al. 2011; Johst et al. 2006; Krause and Culmsee 2013; Lanta et al. 2009; Moranz et al. 2012; Öckinger et al. 2006a; van den Berg et al. 2011).”
