Seminatural grassland management by mowing of Calamagrostis epigejos in Hungary (2011, background): “Related problems were reported from central Europe (Rebele & Lehmann 2001; Sedláková & Fiala 2001; Házi & Bartha 2002; Holub 2002; Luoto et al. 2003; Somodi et al. 2004, 2008; Stránská 2008), from western Europe (ten Harkel & van der Meulen 1995), and also from north America (Aiken et al. 1989)”
Lucerne‐dominated fields recover native grass diversity without intensive management actions (2011, background): “Accumulated plant litter was identified as negatively affecting vascular plant species richness in several studies (Huhta et al. 2001; Enyedi, Ruprecht &Deák 2007).”
Effects of restoration with cattle grazing on plant species composition and richness of semi-natural grasslands (2003, background): “Positive changes in species richness were more prominent than in other Nordic studies of mesic grasslands (Huhta et al. 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;…”
