	abstract = {Ecologists have explored community assembly through the framework of ecological filters, which predicts that species must overcome a series of challenges (i.e. pass through "filters") to successfully establish in a given community. In the context of restoration, these filters (dispersal, abiotic, and biotic) can be manipulated to alter the resulting plant community by favoring native species or disadvantaging non-native invasive species. We conducted two studies manipulating assembly filters at two California grassland sites previously dominated by non-native species. At Site 1, we explored how variations in sequential seeding of native grasses and forbs (to overcome dispersal and biotic filters caused by priority effects) influenced the resulting community. At Site 2, we explored how thatch removal (to overcome the abiotic filter of light limitation) and herbicide-based weed control (to overcome the biotic filter of competition from non-native species) influenced the addition of native forbs into a partially restored grassland. Native forbs at Site 1 did not suffer from arriving after grasses, but native grasses benefited when given 1 year priority over forbs. At Site 2, dethatching increased native forb cover in a high rainfall year. Herbicide application reduced non-native grass cover in dethatched plots without negatively affecting native cover. Native forb and grass cover were significant predictors of non-native grass cover. However, they accounted for only 29% of the variation observed, suggesting there are other influential factors not considered in this study. Our results suggest that forbs can be incorporated into established native grasslands more successfully after dethatching.},

	abstract = {Semi-natural mountain grasslands are species-rich and provide a wide range of ecosystem services, such as biomass production for livestock grazing and carbon sequestration. Land abandonment but also habitat destruction are threatening these ecosystems highlighting the need for restoration when degraded. The transfer of plant material containing seed collected at non-degraded reference sites is increasingly used for restoration but the appropriate methods to prepare the transfer and to manage the grassland afterwards are still under debates. This study aims at testing the effects of seed bed preparation by harrowing and livestock grazing on the establishment of transferred targets and community trajectories towards the reference system. In a previous study, first year seedling counts showed a positive effect of seed bed preparation and a marginally significant negative effect of grazing on the seedling recruitment of the transferred species. We asked whether the results on first year seedling densities translate into significant effects on plant cover and whether these effects on plant cover change in the following three years. Both grazing and harrowing effects on species establishment were tested using a full factorial split-plot experimental design on five replicate sites. Data on species richness and vegetation cover for both the whole plant community and the transferred species were analysed during four years after seed transfer. The cover of transferred species increased whereas their species richness remained unchanged. We found a weak positive effect of harrowing on total cover whereas grazing had no effect. Seed bed preparation by harrowing had a clear positive effect on transferred target species cover. The negative effect of grazing on first-year seedling recruitment of transferred target species turned into a positive effect in the fourth year. However, this effect was only apparent in the harrowed plots resulting in a significant grazing-by-harrowing interaction. The similarity of the plant communities to the reference increased from the first to the fourth year and this increase was stronger in grazed and harrowed plots. In conclusion, the results confirmed the positive effect of seed bed preparation on restoration by seed transfer and demonstrated that initial grazing exclusion is not needed in mountain grasslands of our study area.},

	abstract = {Mountain grassland restoration success may be hampered by limited seed dispersal and poor soil seed banks of many grassland species. These constraints can be overcome by actively introducing propagules from nearby non-degraded communities. We tested different restoration techniques in order to understand the mechanisms favouring target species seedling recruitment and establishment. In five degraded mountain grasslands, we analysed (i) the effect of two techniques increasingly used in ecological restoration to overcome low seed dispersal: transfer of brush-harvested seed material and hay transfer, and (ii) the potentially facilitative effect of a temporary plant cover (common wheat) on the recruitment of transferred brush-harvested propagules. We found that both propagule transfer techniques were successful in establishing plant species of the donor community with an increase of plant species richness, cover and abundance of transferred species. Hay transfer was more efficient in transferring species of the donor grassland than brush-harvested material transfer. Brush-harvested material transfer only increased abundance and cover of donor grassland species when sown together with wheat. The results indicated that hay mulch favoured seedling recruitment of target species, and that propagule transfer without hay mulch needs to be compensated by additional temporary plant cover in order to create favourable conditions for seedling recruitment. A comparison with best reference communities for each restoration grassland confirmed that hay transfer and brush material transfer with wheat sowing were successful in driving plant community composition towards the desired reference state. In conclusion, restoration of mountain grasslands with shallow and stony soils clearly benefits from a facilitative effect of dead (hay) or living (wheat) vegetation cover.},

Vegetation of old fields with different ages was sampled using a chronosequence of fields abandoned 1, 3, 6, 9, 13, 15 and 100 years ago. We prepared dendrogram dividing the data set into 9 clusters that were further analyzed: diagnostic species, ecological conditions and life forms were evaluated. The initial stage of succession was characterized by segetal weeds and indicated high levels of soil nutrients. The second stage was dominated by dense patches of perennial forbs (most of them ruderal species) preferring also high levels of soil nutrients. The third stage was dominated by caespitose hemicryptophyte grasses, many of them of sub-Mediterranean origin. The first two stages took 13 years and both could be considered as early successional stages developing on nutrient rich soils. These stages were switched to late successional stage characterized by seminatural grassland species. The quick succession can probably be attributed to the rich species pool of natural grassland flora, the small size and annual mowing of abandoned agricultural fields and the close proximity of seed sources.},

	abstract = {1. A trait-based framework of community assembly holds great promise for directing ecological restoration, both for selecting species with desirable traits and for manipulating community factors to enhance plant establishment and persistence. Dispersal, abiotic and biotic factors 'filter' species into local communities based on their traits, but interactions among these filters may complicate the use of trait-based assembly models. In this paper, I review recent studies that apply community-based theory to grassland restoration and propose a framework for incorporating interacting ecological filters into restoration design.2. Dispersal limits restoration success in many grassland communities while others are simultaneously limited by dispersal, environmental factors and biotic interactions. Furthermore, the relative importance of ecological filters can change over space and time. Species also differentially respond to filter manipulations which suggests that trait-environment relationships should be used to generate planting recommendations based on optimal trait values for interacting filters at a given site.3. Synthesis. A better understanding of how traits interact with dynamic community assembly filters will allow for site-specific management recommendations, resulting in restored communities that are resilient to a range of filter modifications including climate change, invasion by non-native species, and altered disturbance regimes.},

	abstract = {Questions: Globally, ecological restoration is required to restore degraded landscapes and to contribute to biodiversity conservation. Ecological theory suggests that manipulating dispersal, abiotic and biotic filters limiting plant re-establishment will improve restoration outcomes. Here, we manipulated spread depth of soil containing a salvaged soil seedbank (dispersal filter), soil compaction (abiotic filter) and herbivore grazing (biotic filter) in a topsoil transfer experiment to test their effects on restoration success.Location: Banksia woodland of the Swan Coastal Plain, Western Australia.Methods: Topsoil (upper similar to 7 cm) with its seedbank was removed from a donor site (20 ha) of recently cleared native vegetation and transferred to six recipient restoration sites (16 ha). Deep (10 cm thick) and shallow (5 cm thick) layers of topsoil were applied in a fully factorial experiment, with and without soil ripping and fencing, respectively. We analysed emergence, survival and functional types (alien/native, life form, fire response) of all vascular plant species for two consecutive years after topsoil transfer.Results: The most successful restoration treatment was deep topsoil with a mean density of 14.3 m(-2) native perennial germinants in year one and 7.3 m(-2) in year two. Application of deep topsoil increased native seedling emergence by 34% and decreased weed density by 21% compared with shallow topsoil. Overall seedling survival across the two-year period was unaffected by filter treatments (range 0.6%-5%). After two years, the resulting plant community was 6%-38% weed species and of native perennial species, 12%-48% were capable of resprouting.Conclusions: Manipulation of the dispersal filter alone, that is deep topsoil application, can lead to near-equivalent native species number emerging on restoration sites as compared to pre-cleared woodland. However, more research is required to test additional restoration tools to improve survival of biodiverse plant communities. For example, targeted herbicide application coupled with soil ripping to improve weed management and native seedling establishment.},

Results showed that the chemical attenuation of U. brizantha dominance and surface decompaction allowed the recruitment of 29 plant species, 66% of which are invasive species, exotic to the Cerrado biome. However, the treatments T2, T3, and T4 resulted in the formation of richer and more diverse plant communities in comparison to the plots used as control (T1).

	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 the non-Mediterranean part of the Balkan Peninsula. Primary (steppes, alpine grasslands, azonal and extrazonal grasslands) and secondary grasslands (created mostly by forest cuts) provide a wide range of ecosystem services, such as biomass production and food for grazing animals and other herbivores, carbon storage and sequestration, home for pollinators as well as for migratory and breeding birds, water infiltration, purification and storage, erosion prevention and recreation. Both primary and secondary grasslands in Eastern Europe harbor a rich flora and fauna, but they are threatened by area loss, the twin threats of intensification and abandonment, invasive species encroachment, and climate change. Large areas of grasslands in the lowland regions have been converted to croplands, and the remaining grassland fragments are in general degraded by intensified use. Intensified use and application of tillage, drainage, intercropping, high intensity grazing or the use of pesticides, mineral and organic fertilizers have a detrimental effect on flora and fauna. In contrast, low accessible areas in mountains, foothills or other marginal areas, the traditional grassland management is abandoned. To recover or improve grassland biodiversity, in many countries, the re-introduction of traditional management regimes by mowing or grazing have been suggested. In case of completely destroyed grasslands, restoration of grassland vegetation and diversity by spontaneous succession and/or technical reclamation are necessary. While in large-scale restoration programs successes were often reported, it was also noted by the authors that the success of restoration was strongly influenced by the availability of high-quality grasslands in the landscape, acting as donor sites or spontaneous sources of propagules. High quality grassland fragments act as hotspots of biodiversity in landscapes dominated by agriculture; thus, their preservation should be prioritized in conservation actions.},

	abstract = {Forest-grassland mosaics are widespread features at the interface between tree- and grass-dominated ecosystems. However, the importance of habitat heterogeneity in these mosaics is not fully appreciated, and the contribution of individual woody and herbaceous habitats to the overall conservation value of the mosaic is unclear. We distinguished six main habitats in the forest-grassland mosaics of the Kiskunsag Sand Ridge (Hungary) and compared the species composition, species richness, Shannon diversity, naturalness, selected structural features, environmental variables, and the number of protected, endemic, red-listed and specialist species of the plant communities. Each habitat had species that were absent or rare elsewhere. Grasslands had the highest conservation importance in most respects. North-facing forest edges had the highest species richness, while south facing edges were primarily important for tree recruitment. Among the forest habitats, small forest patches were the most valuable, while large and medium forest patches had the lowest conservation importance. We showed that the current single-habitat focus of both research and conservation in the studied forest-grassland mosaics is not justified. Instead, an integrated view of the entire mosaic is necessary. Management practices and restoration projects should promote habitat heterogeneity, e.g., by assisting tree and shrub establishment and survival in grasslands. The legislative background should recognize the existence of fine-scale forest-grassland mosaics, which are neither grasslands nor forests, but a mixture.},
