Cattle grazing increases plant species richness of most species trait groups in mesic semi-natural grasslands (2005, background): “It has been shown that species with different species traits often differ in their responses to grazing, but the emerging patterns tend to differ between different studies Noy-Meir et al. 1989; Tremont 1994; McIntyre et al. 1995, 1999; Landsberg et al. 1999; Lavorel et al. 1999; Sternberg et al. 200”
Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “However, some authors (Bullock et al. 2001; Gibson and Brown 1991; Watt et al. 1996) have found that a combination of spring and winter grazing increases species richness in grasslands, while Bullock et al. (2001) have shown that heavy summer grazing decreases species richness in some grassland.”
Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail? (2007, background): “…have confirmed this assumption for responses to single environmental factors such as nutrient availability (Dyer et al. 2001) or grazing (Bullock et al. 2001), as do models of community or ecosystem dynamics (Pausas 1999, Colasanti et al. 2001, Ackerly 2003, Boer & Stafford Smith 2003,…”
Long‐term enhancement of agricultural production by restoration of biodiversity (2006, background): “However, in the moderately fertile conditions of our study sites, as long as there is no further fertilizer addition, it is possible to establish moderately rich communities if appropriate species are added (Pywell et al. 2003) and extensive management by cutting and grazing reduces the dominance of”
The effects of grassland management on plant performance and demography in the perennial herb Primula veris (2004, background): “Despite the relatively well-known effects of different management regimes and disturbance on community organization and species diversity ( Bullock et al . 1994, 2001; Huber 1994; Schlapfer, Zoller & Korner 1998; Jacquemyn, Brys & Hermy 2003; Landsberg et al . 2003), their effects on individual pla”
Predictive value of plant traits to grazing along a climatic gradient in the Mediterranean (2005, methodology): “In this application of PFT, the behaviour of individual species is considered as a dependent variable and the traits, or combination of traits, as their potential predictors (as in Bullock et al . 2001 for grazing studies).”
Plant species responses to cattle grazing in mesic semi-natural grassland (2005, background): “Grazing intensity and timing of grazing are known to influence species responses to grazing (Bullock et al., 2001; Vesk and Westoby, 2001).”
