	abstract = {Sowing grasses supports the rapid development of a closed perennial vegetation, which makes the method universally suitable for fast and effective landscape-scale restoration of grasslands. However, to increase their diversity and to create a natural-like species-rich grassland is a challenging task. Understanding the role of seed bank compositional changes and vegetation dynamics can help to design management regimes that support the establishment of target species and suppress unwanted weeds. Our aim was to reveal the effect of post-restoration management on the vegetation and seed bank dynamics in grasslands restored in one of the largest European landscape-scale restoration projects. Eight years after restoration, we sampled the vegetation and the seed bank in 96 quadrats located in 12 restored grasslands in the Great Hungarian Plain. In each grassland stand, we studied and compared a mown (mown from Year 1 to Year 8) and an abandoned plot (mown from Year 1 to Year 3 then abandoned from Year 4 to Year 8). Mown and abandoned plots showed divergent vegetation and seed bank development. Abandonment led to the decline of sown grasses and higher cover of weeds, especially in the alkaline grasslands. Our study underlined that the developing seed bank had a limited contribution to the maintenance of biodiversity in both grassland types. We found that 5 years of abandonment had a larger effect on the seed bank than on the vegetation. We stress that long-term management is crucial for controlling the emergence of the weeds from their dense seed bank in restored grasslands.},

	abstract = {Questions:
		The restoration of unused urban-industrial areas has largely been neglected so far despite great potential to use them for nature conservation purposes. We applied three plant introduction treatments at a highly degraded industrial area. Our questions were: (1) To what extent can plant material introduced to industrial area initiate plant assemblages similar to the composition of reference grasslands? (2) Does restoration differ from primary and secondary reference sites in terms of overall species richness and cover three years after plant material introduction? (3) What are the social behaviour types of the resulting vegetation at different treatments?
		Location:
		Restoration and reference grassland sites with acidic sandy soil in the temperate region of EU, NE Hungary, Nyírség.
		Methods:
		As restoration techniques we (i) directly seeded a single dominant species, (ii) applied a commercial seed mixture, and (iii) transferred hay. We compared species composition, cover, species richness and social behaviour types of restoration treatments to reference grasslands. Inventories of vascular plant species were made at five randomly placed 2 m x 2 m sampling units per plot.
		Results:
		The species composition of seeded restoration plots (by single dominant species and commercial seed mixture) became similar to reference grasslands. Both type of seeding resulted in similar cover, whereas seeding of commercial seed mixture and hay transfer resulted in similar species richness to reference grasslands. The cover of natural constituents of seeded plots also reached that of reference grasslands, while hay addition resulted lower cover and higher number of natural constituents than other methods.
		Conclusions:
		The introduction of propagules, at degraded industrial areas can after three years result in vegetation similar to those of secondary reference grasslands of 30 years of age. We conclude that investing in the restoration of native grasslands at unused urban-industrial sites can be a great opportunity to enhance biodiversity.},

	abstract = {The infilling of existing suitable habitats within a landscape after establishment is of critical importance for the final outcome of a plant invasion, yet it is an often overlooked process. Common ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, is an invasive annual species in Europe causing serious problems due to its highly allergenic pollen and as an agricultural weed. Recent studies have modelled the broad-scale distribution of the species and assessed future invasion risk, but for predicting the expected outcome of ragweed invasion we also need a mechanistic understanding of its local invasion success. We conducted a field experiment to investigate the invasibility of eight common non-arable habitat types and the role of soil disturbance in central Hungary, in the hot spot of ragweed invasion in Europe. Seed addition alone resulted in negligible amount of ragweed biomass, except for sites where disturbance was part of the present management. Soil disturbance alone resulted in ragweed at those few sites where ragweed seeds were present in the seed bank, related to farming in recent decades. When disturbance and seed addition were combined, ragweed emerged in all habitat types and reached high biomass in all habitat types except for closed forests. As our experiment showed that most habitat types have high invasibility when disturbed, we conclude that ragweed has a high potential for further spread, even in this heavily infested region. Management should focus on preventing seed dispersal and eradicating establishing populations where ragweed is still absent, while reducing soil disturbance may be needed to avoid ragweed emergence in infested sites. This latter may require a reconsideration of land-use practices in infested regions.},
