Traditional grasslands face biodiversity loss from mismanagement. A 30-year experiment showed that fertilization had stronger negative effects than mowing abandonment, with slower community recovery post-fertilization suggesting that resilience depends on past land use.
Secondly: Half a Century of Temperate Non-Forest Vegetation Changes: No Net Loss in Species Richness, but Considerable Shifts in Taxonomic and Functional Composition was published in Global Change Biology - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/….
On the way to Tromsø, the Arctic ❄️ capital of Norway for very timely talks on the Arctic state of affairs and much more at @arcticfrontiers conference. For decades, Czechia developed polar research expertise in Svalbard and actively contributed to the stability and preservation of the Arctic. Excited to be back and to meet friends and partners.
