The impact of local biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning is well established, but the
role of larger-scale biodiversity dynamics in the delivery of ecosystem services remains …

Land-use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss. However, understanding how
different components of land use drive biodiversity loss requires the investigation of multiple …

Experiments showed that biodiversity increases grassland productivity and nutrient
exploitation, potentially reducing fertiliser needs. Enhancing biodiversity could improve P …

Spatially explicit knowledge on grassland extent and management is critical to understand
and monitor the impact of grassland use intensity on ecosystem services and biodiversity …

The intensity of land use and management in permanent grasslands affects both biodiversity
and important ecosystem services. Comprehensive knowledge about these intensities is a …

Nitrogen fertilisation is a common form of agricultural intensification, aimed at increasing
biomass, which can affect plant species diversity and ecosystem functioning. Using a …

This review provides an overview of grassland studies on the effects of manure application
and herbivore excreta on plant and soil properties in temperate grasslands. Grass biomass …

Background Land use is the major driver of the current biodiversity crisis. However, its
impact is not yet adequately reflected in biodiversity scenarios. In particular, effects of land …

Land‐use intensification has caused dramatic declines in grassland biodiversity, and in
Europe this decline has not yet been halted. Therefore, a major challenge in ecological …

Background Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is highly variable across sites and primarily
depends on site properties and land use. It is therefore difficult for farmers to evaluate the …
