No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

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 ...

Abstract Introduction Applied nucleation aims to restore degraded ecosystems efficiently by establishing vegetation patches that increase in biodiversity and extent through natural dispersal and facilitation. Although widely tested in terrestrial ecosystems, its long‐term outcomes in wetlands remain poorly understood, particularly how restored ...

The Aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is the rarest songbird of continental Europe and a fen mire specialist. The systematic drainage in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries resulted in the loss of almost all fen mires in the breeding range. In our conservative and cautious estimate, we assume that the total historical population was around ...

Climate benefits of wetland restoration are constrained by slow vegetation recovery
Abstract Introduction Wetland restoration is widely used to enhance ecosystem resilience, biodiversity, and climate mitigation. However, restoring hydrology may not lead to rapid vegetation establishment or reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in severely degraded wetlands.

Abstract Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization governs plant‐available N from soil organic matter and microbial turnover, and is typically estimated as potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) via anaerobic incubations or as N0 and mineralization rate (k) via long‐term aerobic incubations.
