Abstract:
SummaryCorncrakes Crex crex mainly breed in grassland, where they are threatened by mowing. Conservation requires delayed mowing or modified mowing methods. In large fields, it has been suggested that leaving strips of uncut grass may reduce mortality, especially of unfledged chicks. We attended mowing operations (2012–2015) in the Lower Oder Valley National Park in north-eastern Germany, where 10-m refuge strips were introduced. We documented the escape behaviour of adults and chicks and their use of refuge strips by observations and radio-telemetry. Flightless chicks crossed significantly sh

Abstract:
<b>Background and aims</b> &ndash; <i>Rhinanthus major</i> (= <i>R. angustifolius</i> ) and <i>Melampyrum nemorosum</i> are very sensitive to mowing date. As they are annuals without a long-term persistent seed bank and with a poor long-distance dispersal ability, seed loss caused by an unsuitable mowing date could lead to rapid population decline. Since their populations have disappeared from productive grasslands, they have become a focus of conservational management. <i>Rhinanthus</i> is also used in restoration projects as a treatment for reducing biomass, where its permanent populations a

Abstract:
SummaryInformed application of habitat management measures is crucial, especially in saltmarshes that function as last refuges for breeding waders in Europe. Despite a reduction in agricultural use of saltmarshes since the establishment of the Wadden Sea National Parks at the end of the 1980s, there remains controversy regarding management measures such as the timing of mowing. We modelled the proportion of nests and chicks that would be jeopardised by mowing at different dates, using long-term breeding data of the Common Redshank Tringa totanus – an endangered and widespread indicator species

Abstract:
The grass Calamagrostiscanadensis (Michx.) Nutt. often forms a dense growth after logging in the boreal forest region of western Canada. Mowing treatments were applied experimentally to examine the effects of C. canadensis shoot biomass and litter on soil thermal regimes. In unmowed sites with heavy accumulations of shoot biomass and litter (768 g•m−2), thawing of soil in the spring was delayed by up to 1 month compared with sites subjected to frequent mowing. Mean soil temperature from May to August at the 10-cm depth averaged 3.8 °C warmer in mowed plots than in unmowed plots. Mowing also ca

Abstract:
Seminatural grasslands are maintained by regular anthropogenic disturbance, usually grazing or mowing. Management action late in the growing season was historically more common than today. Two experimental grazing regimes, continuous stocking from May to September and late-onset grazing from mid-July, were compared in two Swedish grasslands. Effects on flowering and fruit production were studied and related to plant functional traits. Change in vegetation composition over six years was analysed in one grassland. Delayed onset of grazing enhanced fruit production up to four times. Phenology of

Abstract:
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (NHP) includes grassland habitats that are maintained for the interpretation of historic Civil War battles. In 2022, as part of the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring program, the University of Delaware conducted a grassland bird and raptor inventory in the park. The goals of this inventory were to determine the grassland bird use of Harpers Ferry grasslands during Spring and Fall migration, estimate the abundance and daily nest survival for focal breeding species, and determine the raptor use during migration.
