They are home to unique biodiversity, provide key ecosystem services and sustain traditional livelihoods of nearly two billion people. In the face of ongoing climate change, practitioners aiming to restore open ecosystems need the support of the scientific community more than ever. The aim of this Special Issue (SI) is to provide an attention-grabbing collection of high-quality publications addressing the growing challenges of open ecosystems restoration. The SI contains 14 papers that fill various, often interdisciplinary knowledge gaps. Three papers deal with the challenges of identifying the right target states, including the genetic composition of constituting plant species, for restoration under changing environmental conditions and competing stakeholder interests. Five papers advance our understanding on the appropriate timing and methodological toolkit to actively ignite re-assembly of the target plant communities, while two papers focus on situations where spontaneous processes can still also be relied on. The interaction of open ecosystems health and recovery with higher trophic levels, particularly grazers, is also discussed in three papers. Finally, a review paper systematically identifies further knowledge gaps, such as the role of soil microbes in grassland recovery and makes clear guidelines how to fill them. Due to the variety of topics and the rigorous content, this SI provides strong support for open ecosystems restoration policy and practice under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and beyond.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2351-9894}, orcid-numbers = {Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107} } @inbook{MTMT:34559079, title = {Ökovoltaikus parkok: A napenergia és a természetvédelem találkozása}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34559079}, author = {Tölgyesi, Csaba}, booktitle = {Zöldgazdaság 2023/24}, unique-id = {34559079}, year = {2024}, pages = {260-262}, orcid-numbers = {Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107} } @article{MTMT:34519844, title = {Environmental filtering is the primary driver of community assembly in forest–grassland mosaics: A case study based on CSR strategies}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34519844}, author = {Erdős, László and Ho, Vu Khanh and Bede-Fazekas, Ákos and Kröel-Dulay, György and Tölgyesi, Csaba and Bátori, Zoltán and Török, Péter}, doi = {10.1111/jvs.13228}, journal-iso = {J VEG SCI}, journal = {JOURNAL OF VEGETATION SCIENCE}, volume = {35}, unique-id = {34519844}, issn = {1100-9233}, abstract = {Aims: Ecological strategies can provide information about plant community assembly and its main drivers. Our aim was to reveal the dominant strategies of the vegetationtypes of forest–grassland mosaics and to deduce the assembly processes responsible for their species composition.Location: Hungary.Methods: We investigated eight vegetation types of Hungarian forest–steppes. The trade-off between three key traits related to leaf size and economics was used to calculate Grime's competitive–stress tolerance–ruderal (CSR) value for each species, based on which the mean value for each vegetation type was determined. Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) ordination was used to reveal the compositional dif -ferences among the vegetation types under study. To analyze how ecological strate-gies correlate with the compositional gradient, we used linear regression between plot ordination scores (the first DCA scores) and each strategy (C, S, and R). Linear mixed-effect models were used to evaluate the differences between the vegetation types regarding each strategy (C, S, and R).Results: Each vegetation type was dominated by the stress-tolerator strategy, indicat-ing the prominent role of environmental filtering in community assembly.

However, there are several knowledge gaps related to the process of human-vectored dispersal (HVD) on clothing. In a multi-site field experiment covering various habitat types in three countries of Central-Europe, we involved 88 volunteer participants and collected 251 HVD samples and 2008 subsamples from their socks and shoes. We analysed the number of diaspores and species in the samples. Specifically, we studied the effects of site characteristics (variables related to habitat types and season), vector characteristics (activity type, gender, clothing type, shoe type) and plant characteristics (species pool of the visited habitats and plant traits) on the number of diaspores and array of species dispersed. We assessed the habits of people that could be relevant for HVD with a questionnaire survey. A total of 35,935 diaspores of 229 plant taxa were identified from the samples, which indicates a huge potential of HVD in dispersing diaspores across habitats and regions. Most diaspores were recorded in grassland habitats, and more diaspores were dispersed during fieldwork than excursions. Clothing type also played a decisive role: there were more diaspores and species when wearing short-top shoes and short trousers than long ones. Even though our study was carried out mainly in natural or semi-natural habitats, a large number of dispersed species were disturbance-tolerants and weeds and only a few were specialists, suggesting the controversial role of HVD in conservation. At the individual level, people can reduce the number of diaspores through their clothing choices and diaspore removal habits, while providing adequate equipment for staff, operating cleaning stations, and increasing awareness of employees are main ways in which unintended diaspore dispersal can be tackled at the institutional level.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-1026}, orcid-numbers = {Kiss, Réka/0000-0001-7832-5751; Deák, Balázs/0000-0001-6938-1997; Rádai, Zoltán/0000-0001-7011-5055; Bátori, Zoltán/0000-0001-9915-5309; Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107; Godó, Laura/0000-0001-8752-7996; Valkó, Orsolya/0000-0001-7919-6293} } @article{MTMT:34187575, title = {Wood-pastures promote environmental and ecological heterogeneity on a small spatial scale}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34187575}, author = {Lőrincz, Adam and Hábenczyus, Alida Anna and Kelemen, András and Ratkai, Bonita and Tölgyesi, Csaba and Lőrinczi, Gábor and Frei, Kata and Bátori, Zoltán and Maák, István Elek}, doi = {10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167510}, journal-iso = {SCI TOTAL ENVIRON}, journal = {SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {906}, unique-id = {34187575}, issn = {0048-9697}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-1026}, orcid-numbers = {Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107; Lőrinczi, Gábor/0000-0001-5384-7246; Bátori, Zoltán/0000-0001-9915-5309; Maák, István Elek/0000-0002-0999-4916} } @misc{MTMT:34576160, title = {The role of drainage canals in conservation of grassland true bugs (Heteroptera) in the Pannonian Region}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34576160}, author = {Šeat, Jelena and Tölgyesi, Csaba and Torma, Attila}, unique-id = {34576160}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107; Torma, Attila/0000-0002-9412-2265} } @article{MTMT:34219655, title = {Topographic depressions can provide climate and resource microrefugia for biodiversity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34219655}, author = {Frei, Kata and Vojtkó, András and Farkas, Tünde and Erdős, László and Barta, Károly and E-Vojtkó, Anna and Tölgyesi, Csaba and Bátori, Zoltán}, doi = {10.1016/j.isci.2023.108202}, journal-iso = {ISCIENCE}, journal = {ISCIENCE}, volume = {26}, unique-id = {34219655}, abstract = {Microrefugia are often located within topographically complex regions where stable environmental conditions prevail.

There is a shortage of information on the relationships among topography-related microsite diversity, microclimate, resource availability, and species composition in microrefugia. To fill this knowledge gap, we studied the effects of microclimatic conditions and soil resources on plant species occurrence within and adjacent to 30 large topographic depressions (i.e., dolines) in two distant karst regions. Our results showed that both microclimate and soil resource availability may play a key role in maintaining climate change-sensitive species and biodiversity in dolines; therefore, they may simultaneously act as climate and resource microrefugia.

We studied the species composition as well as taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of north- and south-facing edges and the two adjacent habitats (forest and grassland) in near-natural forest–grassland mosaics in the Kiskunság Sand Ridge (Hungary) and the Deliblato Sands (Serbia). We found that the species composition of edges was significantly different from that of forests and grasslands, and included species that were rare or absent in habitat interiors. This indicates that the contact of adjacent forest and grassland habitats results in the emergence of a new habitat that deserves scientific attention in its own right. In the Kiskunság, species richness and Shannon diversity were generally higher at edges than in forests or grasslands. In the Deliblato, edges were taxonomically not more diverse than grasslands. Thus, increased taxonomic diversity at edges should not be considered a general phenomenon. In the Kiskunság, forests and edges had higher functional diversity than grasslands, while there were no significant differences among the habitats in the Deliblato. It seems that functional diversity is strongly influenced by canopy openness and the traits of the dominant species. The phylogenetic diversity of woody habitats was higher than that of grasslands both in the Kiskunság and the Deliblato, which probably reflects the different evolutionary age of the habitats.}, keywords = {edge effect; diversity patterns}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2351-9894}, orcid-numbers = {Bátori, Zoltán/0000-0001-9915-5309; Tölgyesi, Csaba/0000-0002-0770-2107; Fűrész, Attila/0000-0003-2287-529X; Erdős, László/0000-0002-6750-0961} }
