Long‐term effects of annual mowing on plant diversity, community composition, and temporal stability in wet grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wet grasslands and fens are biodiversity‐rich ecosystems whose structure and functioning are shaped by disturbance, productivity, and hydrological conditions. Their persistence depends on management. Although mowing is widely used to maintain these habitats, its long‐term effects on species diversity and community composition ...
