Shrub removal is a commonly applied method to restore and preserve biodiverse open ecosystems. In order maintain the optimal conservation state after clearing, costly intensive post‐treatments repeated shrub are often employed. Our hypothesis that if target vegetation not self‐sustainable, grassland restorations demand post‐treatments. Multiple potential natural (MPNV) estimates indicative of relative self‐sustainability various types. Therefore, MPNV estimations have predict required...
Abstract Question This study aimed to assess the impact of invasion Asclepias syriaca, a perennial non‐native herbaceous species, on basic soil attributes and vegetation composition, effect mechanical control, namely cutting , target other plant species. Location Sandy region Kiskunság National Park, Hungary, Central Europe. Methods In ten old‐fields, four 4 m × plots were established ( n = 40), which three invaded by Asclepias, one was uninvaded. The treated as: (1) all shoots removed, (2)...
Abstract Aim s Ecological theories predict that assembly processes are driven by two deterministic forces: environmental filtering and limiting similarity. Their relative importance under different conditions is still not completely obvious. Therefore, in this paper the predictions of stress–dominance hypothesis (SDH) tested several sites. Location Kiskunság Hungary, Deliblato Sands Serbia, Central Europe. Methods We studied a productivity gradient from open sand grasslands to meadows. The...
Abstract The breeding strategies of the White Stork changed drastically during past decades: a decreasing number individuals nest on traditional sites – trees, roofs, chimneys, whereas electricity poles are increasingly selected. Here we analysed long-term data Storks in six Hungarian counties to detect patterns site preferences Hungary. According our results, shift preference for was shown at same rate every county, independently from proportion original sites. After 2000, although...
New plant trait measurements collected during the field sampling in Pannonian sandy grasslands Hungary and Serbia are presented. Selected traits include canopy height, leaf area (LA), specific (SLA) dry matter content (LDMC). The measurement procedures of overlapping, 3-dimensional or otherwise difficult-to-measure leaves shoots described details.
Abstract We analysed the effects of weather and climatic patterns on productivity White Stork in Hungary between 1958 2017, using i) linear mixed effect models (LMM), ii) LMM-s extended by a single random variable or nested combination; iii) fixed iv) an additive model selected variables. As preselection, following variables were identified with substantial support: March mean temperature, precipitation, April June precipitation (negative), July temperature. The slight increase number...
Abstract Aims Fitting community assembly via trait selection (CATS) models is a useful method of estimating the relative role environmental in assembly. In simplest version CATS models, only linear and additive trait–environment relationships are supposed. This paper explores consequences neglecting non‐linearity interactions by analyzing simulated field data. Location Northern Hungary, Central Europe. Methods Starting with Gaussian response curves, we discussed how more complex...
Abstract A straightforward way to explore variation between communities is calculate dissimilarity indices and relate them with environmental spatial variables. Communities are most often represented by the (relative) abundances of taxa they comprise; however, more recently, distribution traits organisms included in has been shown strongly related ecosystem properties. In this study, we test whether taxon- or trait-based correlated tightly difference geographical distance how abundance scale...
