Species conservation and forage production are both important, yet conflicting components of sustainable grassland management. We modeled value as dependents in a chain responses effects, starting with abiotic environmental conditions that affect the spatial distribution land uses biotic ecosystem properties. asked which relationships this causal determine trade-offs between value. Abiotic properties were recorded on 46 plots coastal marshes Northwest Germany. Plant bird values calculated...
Capsule: Grassland renewal is associated with short-term beneficial effects on density and reproduction of Northern Lapwings Vanellus vanellus followed by long-lasting reduced breeding numbers after sward establishment.Aims: To assess short- long-term grassland the Lapwings.Methods: In years 1999–2011 we counted 18 reseeded plots in a chronosequence ranging from one year before until 3 reseeding. We also monitored nesting dispersion hatching success different habitats, particularly tillage,...
