From arable land to species-rich semi-natural grasslands: Succession in abandoned fields in a dry region of central Europe
Original language description
The area of arable land has decreased considerably in Europe over the last decades. Abandoned fields are potential habitats for restoration of species-rich grasslands of high conservation value, but in specific cases it is unclear whether this can be achieved by spontaneous succession or intervention is needed. In dry areas of eastern-central Europe, spontaneous succession of species-rich steppe grasslands was observed on some abandoned fields located close to ancient grasslands. We studied spontaneoussuccession on ex-arable land in the warm and dry area of the SE Czech Republic using space-for-time substitution. Vegetation was sampled in 175 plots, for which the time since the abandonment (4?71 years) was determined from historical aerial photographs. All plots were close to ancient dry grasslands. Annual weeds were replaced by perennial species in less than four years after abandonment.
