Rapid adaptive evolution in restored populations of a perennial plant

This study shows that restored plant populations of Galium wirtgenii adapted to earlier mowing by flowering earlier, indicating a heritable evolutionary response.

Impact of land-use intensity, productivity, and aboveground richness on seed rain in temperate grasslands

This study examines how land-use intensity, productivity, and vegetation richness affect seed rain composition and density in temperate grasslands, finding that higher land-use intensity reduces diversity but increases seed production.

Advanced flowering phenology of restored grasslands

The paper compares flowering phenology between restored and reference meadows, finding restored plants flower earlier, especially early-flowering species.

Experimental reduction of land use increases invertebrate abundance but not diversity in grasslands

The paper shows that reducing land use increases invertebrate abundance but not diversity in grasslands, with effects influenced by surrounding land use practices.
