Experimental extensification of mountain grasslands restores plant species richness but not species composition in the mid‐term

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 530-540, March 2023., 2023
Land‐use intensification induces a rapid impoverishment of the flora of mountain meadows. Our results demonstrate the potential of mountain hay meadows to passively restore plant species richness after re‐extensification; however, plants communities did not fully recover.
