Grassland Plant Community Composition and Dynamics: Disturbance as Determinants of Grassland Diversity
Campos Sulinos grasslands have a long evolutionary history intertwined with fire and grazing: they are disturbance-dependent ecosystems. Disturbance,... -
Subalpine and Alpine Grassland
The high altitudes of the mountains of Central Europe are characterised by extreme site conditions. This poses particular challenges for the... -
Coastal and Inland Sandy Dry Grassland
Sandy dry grasslands occur on the coasts and in the inland. In addition to the naturally occurring succession stages after disturbance, it is... -
Ecological Restoration of Campos Sulinos Grasslands
Ecological restoration is an important activity to ensure biodiversity conservation and the provision of ecosystem services. It has been a growing... -
Mixed sowing improves plant and soil bacterial community restoration in the degraded alpine meadow
Background and aimsPlanting artificial grassland has been widely implemented to restore the extremely degraded alpine meadow. However, the...

Restoration Economy: Costs and Benefits
Cost-benefit calculations play a role not only for land use and generally for nature conservation and environmental protection at the business and... -
Insects in Grassland Ecosystems
Insects serve as ecosystem engineers in grasslands. Their impacts are comparable in scale to those of mammals, but because they are so much smaller,... -
Microbial and chemical fertilizers for restoring degraded alpine grassland
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the restoration of natural grasslands is an urgent task, but finding the appropriate green restoration approach still...
