Following the destruction of 95% of meadows during the twentieth
century, there is an urgent need to understand what little
unspoiled habitat remains in order to plan the management and
restoration of existing sites, as well as re-creating future
grassland habitats. This book is a much-needed guide to grassland
restoration and management. Providing a thorough overview of recent
research on grassland restoration and its implications for
practical grassland restoration and management, it introduces
grassland communities and the wildlife they support, including
examples of species of conservation concern, and considers the
management of semi-natural grassland habitats with particular
emphasis on drier grassland habitats. Chapters cover: - Grassland
character and communities - Introduction to grassland wildlife -
Managing semi-natural grassland - Grassland restoration - threats
and challenges - Opportunities in grassland restoration - Plant
material for grassland restoration - Defining success in grassland
restoration. A variety of management techniques are examined,
including soil amendment, cultivation, harvesting and maintenance
in creating suitable conditions for the successful restoration of
species-rich grasslands. It is essential reading for
conservationists, site owners or managers, practitioners,
conservation organizations and students of ecological restoration
with an interest in the creation of new grassland habitats, the
restoration of semi-natural grassland, as well as the continuing
management of semi-natural (unimproved) grassland communities.
