Plant species responses to cattle grazing in mesic semi-natural grassland (2005, background): “Ellenberg values are particularly effective for comparing the effects of management on species assemblages (Bakker et al., 2002; Zechmeister et al., 2003).”
Diversity and trait composition of moths respond to land-use intensification in grasslands: generalists replace specialists (2017, background): “…usually combined with the application of fertilizer to grasslands, which increases total biomass production (Simons et al. 2014) and favours fast-growing, highly competitive plant species (Liancourt et al. 2009), consequently reducing plant diversity (Simons et al. 2014; Zechmeister et al. 2003).”
Direct and productivity‐mediated indirect effects of fertilization, mowing and grazing on grassland species richness (2012, background): “2007) and mowing (Zechmeister et al. 2003) on species richness.”
Effects of ecological compensation meadows on arthropod diversity in adjacent intensively managed grassland (2010, background): “Plant species richness in agricultural meadows has been found to be negatively correlated with both intensity of fertilizer and mowing intensity (Zechmeister et al., 2003).”
Vascular plant and Orthoptera diversity in relation to grassland management and landscape composition in the European Alps (2007, background): “In observational studies, the effect of cutting frequency per se remains controversial, because cutting frequency is highly confounded by the history of fertilizer applications and length of growing season (Zechmeister et al. 2003).”
Impact of farm size and topography on plant and insect diversity of managed grasslands in the Alps (2009, background): “…transformation of agriculture, should eventually be associated with other measures providing specific management practices at the field scale (Zechmeister et al., 2003; Steck et al., 2007; Marini et al., 2008), such as the ECA (Ecological Compensation Areas) hay meadow agri-environment…”
Surrogate taxa for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes of eastern Austria (2004, background): “These schemes need to be assessed to ensure that the money is effectively spent (Bignal, 1998; Kleijn et al., 2001; Zechmeister et al., 2003).”
How effective are European agri‐environment schemes in conserving and promoting biodiversity? (2003, background): “To our knowledge, the only study that has attempted this correlated the amount of agri-environmental subsidy received for the management of grassland fields in Austria with plant species richness of those fields (Zechmeister et al. 2003).”
