The orchard floor reaches desired biodiversity three years after restoration

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Old traditional orchards can be characterized by trees in standard (or half-standard) forms to ensure longevity and by the orchard floor consisting of specific grasslands formed by repeated traditional management, be it grazing by house animals or mowing for hay. The restoration of old neglected traditional orchards is a complex process and its goal is not only to improve the status of the fruit trees but also to achieve sufficient biodiversity of the orchard floor. During the 2017 growing season, we assessed two recently restored neglected orchards (2014 and 2015) to find out how much they resemble their desired status two and three years after the restoration. The desired status was deduced from two closest functional traditional orchards which were used as reference sites. Our results indicated that biodiversity in the orchard floor of both restored orchards was actually higher than in their reference sites. At the same time we discovered that after three years, biodiversity in the orchard floor was remarkably close to its reference site indicating that even though a forestry tiller had to be used during the turf establishment, after three years the restoration was already successful in returning desired biodiversity to the site.
