Traditional human practices protect diversity of open forests threatened by ticking nutrient time bomb
Original language description
Open forests are among the most species rich ecosystems but these are now suffering from strong environmental pressure. With the increasing frequency of drought events accompanying climate change, open forests are now at high risk of canopy openness, an associated increase in nutrient load, and a consequent reordering of the plant community. Based on an 11year field manipulative experiment, we examined whether the reintroduction of traditional forest uses, in particular the regular removal of litter which has been practiced for many centuries in Europe, may mitigate eutrophication and protect the ancient plant diversity of open forests. We examined vascular plant composition in 64, 3 x 3 m plots in 32 randomized blocks, each consisted of one litterremoval and one control plot in a subcontinental thermophilous oak forest dominated by Quercus petraea (Czech Republic, Central Europe). We analyzed how regular litter removal influenced the changes in topsoil nutrients and diversity and abundances of peren
