DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.14592
Abstract: Agricultural intensification, afforestation and land abandonment are major drivers of biodiversity loss in semi‐natural grasslands across Europe. Reversing these losses requires the reinstatement of plant–animal interactions such as pollination. Here we assessed the differences in… read more here.

Restoration of ecosystem functions: Seed production in restored and ancient grasslands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Applied Vegetation Science"
DOI: 10.1111/avsc.12597
Abstract: Questions Evaluating seed production as a community function in species-rich temperate grasslands, we asked: (1) Do ancient and restored grasslands differ in the composition of seed-producing species? (2) Do seed-producing species of ancient and restored… read more here.
