Abstract Grasslands cover around 282,000 km2, corresponding to 14.6% of the total area in
the countries of Eastern Europe, here defined as East Europe, Eastern Central-Europe, and …

Aims Semi‐natural grasslands are among the most biodiverse habitats in Europe, and they
are of great conservation and agricultural value. However, changes in land use like grazing …

Abstract Evaluation of grazing impacts on land degradation processes is a difficult task due
to the heterogeneity and complex interacting factors involved. In this paper, we designed a …

Grassland ecosystems are essential for biomass production but are prone to degradation if
management practices are inappropriate. Thus, it is necessary to optimize grazing …

To meet the global challenges of climate change and human activity pressure on
biodiversity conservation, it has become vital to map such pressure hotspots. Large areas …

Grasslands differ in many types depending on the diversity of climatic conditions and
substrates. Due to the great wealth of species found in semi-natural grasslands, they …

Simple Summary Grasslands are one of the most widely distributed ecosystems at a global
scale. They provide a broad range of ecosystem services, such as provisioning, regulating …

Background Land management change towards intensive grazing has been shown to alter
plant and pollinator communities and the structure of plant-pollinator interactions in different …

The endangered and declining butterfly species Colias myrmidone is sensitive to land-use
changes and vulnerable in its immature stages. The requirements for its larval habitats are …

Biodiversity in European agricultural landscapes is at stake, with many once widespread
species now being endangered, extinct or confined to few areas. So is the Danube Clouded …
