Abstract:
Our investigation targeted the diversity of spider communities of meadows under nature conservation management and the relationship between mowing and the spider diversity. The study sites represented by six grasslands on three localities of Mátra mountain of Hungary. All three localities were contained a hay meadow and a not mowed meadow. Hay meadows had the richest spider communities. In the control habitats, the equitability and the Shannon-Wiener diversity were lower than in the mowed grasslands. According to the Bray-Curtis similarity index significant differences were observed between sp

Abstract:
Hay is still a fundamental resource for many Central and Eastern European traditional rural communities, as this is the only type of fodder used in winter time for the indoor feeding of livestock animals. To explore its current relevance for local communities, we conducted research in Ieud village, Maramureș county, in Northern Romania. The fourteenth-century documents clearly mention hay meadows as one of the most important land uses in the village, belonging to the local nobility. Due to the long history of animal husbandry and farming in the region, the locals from Ieud have developed a hay

Abstract:
Wet meadows harbor rich biodiversity, making them pivotal ecosystems worldwide. These habitats are commonly used for grazing or hay production for livestock. However, regular mowing can influence these habitats, potentially leading to significant repercussions for the animals residing within them. In order to investigate the effects of land management practices, we conducted an experimental study to compare snail communities in mowed and unmowed wet meadows in northern Hungary. We found that overall, mowing decreases snail populations, as well as species richness and diversity. Thus, our resul

SUMMARYSemi-natural hay meadows are among the most biodiversity-rich terrestrial ecosystems, and are managed for conservation purposes in most of Europe, including Sweden. Romania has some of Europe's largest areas of grasslands still managed with traditional methods. Through interviews and field studies, current management practices were investigated in two Romanian villages, and compared with CAP-generated grassland management in Swedish hay meadows and historical Swedish management of grasslands.

Abstract:
Hay-making structures are part of the agricultural landscape of meadows and pastures. Hay meadows are still used and found all over Europe, but their distribution patterns as well as their characteristics and regional features depend on geographical area, climate, culture, and intensity of agriculture. Intensively used hay meadows are the most dominant, using heavy machinery to store hay mostly as rounded or square bales. Traditional hay-making structures represent structures or constructions, used to quickly dry freshly cut fodder and to protect it from humidity. The ‘ancient’ forms of tradit

The feed quality of 34 species (27 dicotyledonous and 7 grasses) present in the vegetation of the Pyrenean mountain hay meadows rich in species subject to extensive management is analyzed in this paper. For this, just before mowing, samples were taken in the field and their organic and mineral components were determined in the laboratory. The results indicate that some species, such as Taraxacum officinale, Sanguisorba minor, Chaerophyllum aureum, and Lotus corniculatus, are outstanding in their forage feed value and, in the cases of T. officinale and C. aureum, also for their mineral content.

Abstract:
It is well known that the anthropogenic impact on nature has reached global proportions, as a result of which many biological species, particularly valuable forage grasses, disappear. The human impact on meadow communities is so strong that they are unable to resist it. As a result, the most important property of natural phytocenoses is lost — the ability to self-repair. In different ecological conditions, meadows require different approaches needed to improve them. Natural forage lands are the basis of the fodder base of the currently developing mountain animal husbandry, and its successful a

Abstract:
Biotope or habitat preferences are important species characteristics that can be used for understanding their ecology, as well as their conservation, and even as a tool for crime investigations for detection of post-mortem body manipulation. However, the characterization of species� habitat preferences can be difficult. There are several limiting factors like lack of quantitative data and reliance on anecdotal evidence for this trait. Further, we must consider the reaction to the border between two neighboring habitats. These ecotones are important biodiversity hotspots in the landscape, which

Long-term studies over 24 years have shown that variable alfalfa of the Pastbishchnaya 88 variety on well-cultivated soddy-podzolic soil can form stable agrophytocenoses, providing for the 12–15th years life with two- and three-fold mowing, the yield is 5,71 and 3,92 t/ha of dry matter, respectively. White clover varieties VIK 70 and Nanuk formed unstable herbage. Herbage with its participation was the least productive and in old-growth herbage its share varied from 2,5 to 7,1%. The productive longevity of the red clover variety Mars was 3 years. When oversown in the sod, red clover rooted bet

Abstract:
Historically one of the main fodder crops in Russia, Timothy meadow grass (Phleum pratense L.) is not a record-breaker in terms of yield or protein content, but in the Non-Black Earth zone it always guarantees a normal yield of green matter or hay, which is quite easy to produce from it. This crop was first cultivated for fodder purposes in the north of European Russia in the first half of the 18th century. Timothy meadow grass is a typical hay crop, which is most often grown in grass mixtures with meadow clover [1]. This species has about five ecological forms-subspecies, which are evolutiona

Abstract:
The Big Meadows landscape is an open habitat that supports unique biodiversity not found elsewhere in Shenandoah National Park. To support this biodiversity and to maintain the Meadow’s historic landscape characteristics, Park staff have managed the meadows using prescribed burns, mowing, and the targeted cutting and removal of woody plants since 1998. To assess the impacts of these management actions on the plant community in Big Meadows and to guide future land management recommendations, we visualized changes in the plant community composition between 1998 and 2022 using non-metric multidim

Abstract:
Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge (“the Refuge”) in Colorado near Denver, Colorado, has a history (1952-1 989) of producing components for nuclear weapons. The current goal for the area is “to restore and preserve the native prairie ecosystems, provide habitat for migratory and resident wildlife, conserve and protect habitat for Preble’s meadow jumping mouse, and provide research and education opportunities”. The grasslands of the Refuge are surrounded by busy roads to the west (Hwy 93, 18,000 AADT), north (Hwy 128, 4,200 AADT) and east (Indiana St. 7,000 AADT), and there are houses and ass

On the east coast, eastern black rails historically bred in tidal and freshwater marshes along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts, south to Florida. Within the mid-Atlantic region suitable black rail habitat is concentrated in the high marsh along the upper elevational zone of salt marshes. This zone is dominated by salt meadow hay (Spartina patens), saltgrass (Distichlis spicata), and is often interspersed with shrubs such as marsh elder (Iva

Wetlands at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (FLFO) are important because they are biodiversity hotspots and support iconic wildlife. They also provide valuable ?ecosystem services? such as attenuating floods, storing water, recharging aquifers, stabilizing and sequestering sediment, storing carbon, enhancing water quality, and cycling nutrients. This report summarizes 11 years (2009?2019) of wetland monitoring in three sentinel wetland complexes in FLFO.
