Dry heathland restoration in the Zlatnice Nature Reserve (Czech Republic): An assessment of the effectiveness of grazing and sod-cutting

Original language description

The vegetation of low-altitude dry heathlands in Central Europe (Euphorbio cyparissiae-Callunion vulgaris) has declined because the abandonment of traditional management has resulted in gradual overgrowth by woody species and because nutrient inputs havechanged. Low-intensity grazing and sod-cutting, which are traditionally recommended to regenerate the Calluna vulgaris vegetation from the seed bank, were introduced to restore stands of heather that had disappeared. The study was conducted in the Zlatnice Nature Reserve, located in the northwestern part of Prague (Czech Republic). A system of permanent plots 1 m2 in area was used to collect the data. Both grazing and sod-cutting were effective for the restoration of the Calluna vulgaris vegetation. During the two years after the introduction of grazing, the greatest increase in the heather cover occurred in the grazed areas. The heather cover in the areas managed by sod-cutting started to increase significantly in the third year follo
