The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1124-1139, September 2026.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Planted grasslands have equivalent or higher arthropod biomass than native grassland important to nesting Sprague's Pipits (Anthus spragueii) early in the breeding season

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Grassland species are declining globally. Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), a native grassland‐obligate, nests in planted grasslands in some regions. How food resources in planted grassland compare with those in native grassland is important to determine the relative benefits of creating new grassland by seeding cropland with ...
