Influence of fertilization and cutting frequency on the characteristics of semi-natural grasslands in Protected Landscape Area of Žďárské vrchy Hills
Original language description
Grasslands in central Europe are communities mainly replacing forests supplying several ekosystém services, including forage. The fulfilment of multiple functions depends on management, which should aim at enhancing biodiversity as well as forage quality and high yields at the same time. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the influence of fertilization (90 N, 180 N, P, K) and cutting frequency (2 and 3 cuts) on the diversity index and grassland forage quality. High levels of nitrogen were shown to be beneficial (P<0.05) for both the grassland quality and production. Fertilization had an adverse effect on biological diversity, which decreased (P<0.05) with a high level of fertilizers. Application of phosphorus and potassium increased (P<0.05) grassland forage quality, while maintaining species diversity.
