Abstract Until now the main instrument to counteract loss of biodiversity and landscape quality in European countryside has been agri‐environment schemes (AES), which offer short‐term payments for performing prescribed environmental management behaviors. In our opinion this approach is, its current set‐up, not a sustainable way enhancing quality. Here we will argue that conservation agricultural areas is also social challenge. To change farmers’ behaviors toward more farmland biodiversity,...
Floodplain ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots and supply multiple ecosystem services. At the same time they often prone to human pressures that increasingly impact their intactness. Multifunctional floodplain management can be defined as a approach aimed at balanced of services serve needs local residents, but also those off-site populations directly or indirectly impacted by policies. has been recently proposed key concept reconcile with various driving forces. In this paper we present...
According to island biogeography theory, the species richness of patches is determined by their size and spatial isolation, while in conservation practice, it patch quality that determines protection guides management. We analysed whether size, isolation or habitat are most important for a set 50 dry grassland fragments agricultural landscapes eastern Austria. studied two plant taxa (vascular plants, bryophytes) 11 invertebrate (gastropods, spiders, springtails, grasshoppers, true bugs,...
Abstract Questions The restoration of unused urban‐industrial areas has largely been neglected despite their great potential for nature conservation purposes. We applied three plant introduction treatments at a highly degraded industrial area to test whether material introduced onto initiates assemblages similar in composition those reference grasslands. specifically asked (a) Does differ between primary and secondary sites terms overall species richness cover years after the material? (b)...
