History or abiotic filter: which is more important in determining the species composition of calcareous grasslands? (2009, background): “…in the middle and second half of 20th century at less agriculturally favourable sites in numerous regions in Central Europe when arable farming was abandoned because of socioeconomical and political changes (Osbornová et al. 1990, Ruprecht 2005, 2006, Illyés & Bölöni 2007, Poschlod et al. 2008).”
Scale- and taxon-dependent biodiversity patterns of dry grassland vegetation in Transylvania (2014, background): “Grazing, and to a lesser extent mowing, have been the most common land use types in this region for several hundred years (Enyedi et al., 2008; Ruprecht, 2006).”
Restoring grassland biodiversity: Sowing low-diversity seed mixtures can lead to rapid favourable changes (2010, background): “, 2009), or missing dispersal agents and processes (Strykstra et al., 1997; Ruprecht, 2006).”
The Palaearctic steppe biome: a new synthesis (2016, background): “Spontaneous recovery of steppe-like grasslands was reported where local seed rain was sufficient (Ruprecht 2006; Török et al. 2011).”
Regeneration of sandy old-fields in the forest steppe region of Hungary (2011, background): “The combination of these two approaches is rarely performed (e.g. Ruprecht 2006; Standish et al. 2007; Öster et al. 2009; Török et al. 2011a); yet this could show both how fast (or slowly) succession proceeds and how different the secondary vegetation is from the target communities.”
Solidago canadensis impacts on native plant and pollinator communities in different-aged old fields (2015, background): “The early years of vegetation succession are usually characterized by a wide array of disturbance-tolerant ruderal species and fast colonizing generalist species (Ruprecht 2006).”
Lucerne‐dominated fields recover native grass diversity without intensive management actions (2011, background): “There are two reasons for diaspore limitation: (i) limited spatial dispersal (e.g. missing dispersal agents and heavy seeds) reduces the movement of seeds into target sites (Simmering, Waldhardt & Otte 2006); (ii) long-term agricultural use often depletes the local seed bank, and also increases the ”
Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “In Romania, between 10 and 20% of the arable area has been abandoned in recent years (17% in 2006) (Green Report).”
Effects of bryophytes and grass litter on seedling emergence vary by vertical seed position and seed size (2010, background): “management changes, serious long-term consequences on community structure and ecosystem functioning may occur (Xiong and Nilsson 1999; Ruprecht 2006; Klanderud and Totland 2007; Bruun and Ten Brink 2008).”
