Kommentar/Beschreibung

Semi-natural grasslands managed by extensive grazing or mowing play an important role for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, soil health and water regulation in Europe. However, this grassland has been degraded by intensive farming and conversion to arable land. The restoration of species-rich grasslands is crucial to ensure future ecosystem services. Restoration of species rich grasslands is therefore the aim of numerous nature conservation initiatives, but it remains unclear whether plant-centered restoration measures are effective in restoring other parts of the community, such as pollinators. To understand how successfully grassland communities reassemble during restoration, it is important not only to study how plant communities change over time, but also to include pollinator communities and their interactions with plants. The planned study near Halle/Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt) will investigate how plant and pollinator communities (Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera), and and their interactions recover in the temporally differentially restored areas in relation to their ecosystem services. Using classical taxonomy and statistical methods, we will test (1) whether plant and pollinator communities develop similarly along a time gradient on restored areas and what role individual plant community traits (dominance patterns, diversity, composition) and landscape factors play for restoration success and (2) how the reestablishment of interaction networks between plants and pollinators depends on the recovery of plant and pollinator communities.
