Grassland ecology and conservation in Europe: Editorial to the 18 th EDGG Special Feature in Tuexenia

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Members of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) and its predecessor organizations have been publishing grassland Special Features in Tuexenia since 2005. This year's Special Feature includes five articles highlighting different aspects of grassland research in Europe. In grasslands across different European countries, Seiler et al. (2025) investigated whether the occurrence of mycotoxins produced by grass endophytes are affected by environmental conditions and plant diversity. Boch et al. (2025) experimentally tested the effects of disturbance and seed addition on bryophyte communities along a gradient in land-use intensity in 72 agricultural grasslands in Germany. Blank-Pachlatko et al. (2025) investigated how restoration success in alpine grasslands is related to soil alterations. Genucchi et al. (2025) studied the potential impact of increasing cover of Erigeron annuus on native plant diversity in Switzerland. Finally, Dembicz et al. (2025) provide a syntaxonomic synthe- sis of the Koelerio-Corynephoretea and Festuco-Brometea communities of the Lesser Polish Upland.
