• Contrasting responses of vascular plants and bryophytes to present and past connectivity in unmanaged grasslands 

  Järvenpää, Suvi; Kytöviita, Minna-Maarit; Pitkämäki, Tinja; Lampinen, Jussi (Springer, 2023)

  The area of semi-natural grasslands has decreased dramatically causing many grassland specialist species to persist in small habitat fragments. Furthermore, ecological communities once shaped by disturbances related to ...

• Grazing and abandonment determine different tree dynamics in wood-pastures 

  Oldén, Anna; Komonen, Atte; Tervonen, Kaisa; Halme, Panu (Springer Netherlands; Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien, 2017)

  Wood-pastures are threatened biotopes in which trees and livestock grazing maintain high conservation values. However, browsing may threaten tree regeneration, whereas abandonment leads to tree encroachment. We studied the ...

• Ectomycorrhizal fungi in wood-pastures : Communities are determined by trees and soil properties, not by grazing 

  Tervonen, Kaisa; Oldén, Anna; Halme, Panu (Elsevier BV, 2019)

  Traditional rural biotopes such as wood-pastures are species-rich environments that have been created by low-intensity agriculture. Their amount has decreased dramatically during the 20th century in whole Europe due to the ...

• The effect of grazing history on fungal diversity in broadleaved wood pastures 

  Mustola, Kaisa (2012)

  Traditional rural biotopes such as wood pastures are species rich habitats which have been created by extensive agriculture. In all European countries both the quality and quantity of traditional rural biotopes have ...

• Bryophyte diversity in semi-natural grasslands : the effects of habitat quantity and quality 

  Pitkämäki, Tinja (2015)

  Edeltäneiden vuosisatojen maatalouskäytännöt loivat elinympäristöjä, joihin tänä päivänä viitataan perinnebiotooppeina. Siirtymä moderniin maatalouteen on muiden maankäytön muutosten ohella vähentänyt näitä ...
