Grassland special issue in Tuexenia, and two new papers about grassland management from our group

The new issue of the Tuexenia journal has been launched, including the new grassland-related special feature of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group, edited by Steffen Boch, Thomas Becker, Balázs Deák, Jürgen Dengler and Valentin Klaus.

The editorial paper introducing the specia feature can be downloaded by clicking here.

Boch, S., Becker, T., Deák, B., Dengler, J. & Klaus, V.H. (2021): Grasslands of temperate Europe in a changing world – Editorial to the 16th EDGG Special Feature in Tuexenia. – Tuexenia 41: 351–359.

The special feature includes two papers co-authored by members of our research group.

In the study by Judit Bódis et al., we compared the effects of traditional (mowing), alternative (mowing without hay removal, burning) management types and abandonment on the vegetation of fen meadows.

The first paper from the grazing preference studies led by András Kelemen has been published by Nóra Balogh et al. about the consumption rate and dietary choice of cattle in a highly diverse meadow steppe system.
