However, the effect of land-use intensity on plant distribution at small spatial scales, as indicated by the slope of the species-area relationship, is rarely investigated. We tested whether the species-area relationship is directly affected by land-use intensity or indirectly via plant species richness. We studied the species-area relationship by measuring the rate of species richness increase between different plot sizes. We used nested quadrats of 0.2 by 0.2 m and 1 m by 1 m within each of 147 4 × 4 m plots of managed grasslands in three German regions in 2017 or 2018. With linear models, we found that the different components of land use (mowing, grazing and fertilization) had various direct effects on the species-area relationship. Mowing reduced the slope of the species-area relationship, indicating a more even distribution of plant species within plots at higher land-use intensity. Fertilisation did not significantly affect the slope of the species-area relationship, while grazing increased it. As a result of these different component effects, overall land-use intensity did not affect the species-area relationship directly. In addition, we used structural equation modelling to assess the direct and indirect effect of land-use intensity on the species-area relationship. We found that land-use intensity had only a negative indirect effect on the species-area relationship through a negative effect on species richness. An additional analysis with land-use components, mowing and grazing, confirmed the indirect negative effect of land-use on species-area relationship. Our results underline the importance of testing direct and indirect effects of land-use intensity. Furthermore, we show the importance of considering regional environmental differences before being able to generalize land-use effects on plant species heterogeneity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8708,"journal":{"name":"Basic and Applied Ecology","volume":"87 ","pages":"Pages 92-99"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144633586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For habitats, conservation status was better in Natura 2000 sites that were established earlier than later. For both habitats and species, more favourable conservation states were overall related to larger area sizes and the absence of direct land use (agriculture, forestry).

Reduced management increased species richness and altered community composition across all groups compared to intensive management. Plant species richness increased by 5.7, general arthropods by 4.8, and epigean carabids by 0.7. No significant differences were observed between short- and long-term implementation. Ruderal and stress-tolerant plant species dominated vegetation in intensively managed sites, while reduced sites supported more specialized feeding types across insect species and floodplain-specific carabids. Larger, univoltine arthropods were more common in reduced sites. Sowing native grassland species and changing the management from intensive to reduced mowing can increase biodiversity and favor specialist species. This effect is achieved within a short time after implementation and remains effective in the long term.

Furthermore, the observations collected differ significantly between the three apps, and <em>Blühendes Österreich</em> particularly lacks inconspicuous butterfly species.

Within single habitats, amateurs and semi-professional users performed similarly in recording. In consequence, a combination of the data from the various apps might provide a largely realistic picture. However, most rare and ecologically demanding species seem to be covered inadequately.

However, the response of particular species to anthropogenic pressures is variable and, therefore, some species may perform better (winners) and others worse (losers) in the face of landscape homogenization. Our main objective was to understand which plant and pollinator species were the most vulnerable to this landscape disturbance. To evaluate this, we used data on pollinator and plant abundance in 20 study sites located along a gradient of landscape heterogeneity (i.e. diversity of land-cover layers at 500 m and 1 km radius surrounding the study sites) across Mallorca Island (western Mediterranean Basin). For 46 pollinator species (hymenopterans and dipterans) and 162 plant species, we collected functional traits (either by direct measurements or from literature) that reflect the ability of species to adapt to changing environments, and related their abundance to their traits along a gradient of landscape heterogeneity. Landscape heterogeneity influenced the study groups at different scales, affecting Diptera at a smaller scale than Hymenoptera and plants. Although the number of species was not influenced by landscape heterogeneity, the abundance of species was. An increase in landscape heterogeneity favored the abundance of social Hymenoptera compared to solitary ones. The abundance of Hymenoptera that nest in the ground or in cavities increased with landscape heterogeneity, while the abundance of builders decreased. Besides, increasing landscape heterogeneity enhanced the abundance of small and medium sized Hymenoptera, whereas the abundance of large Hymenoptera remained stable along the heterogeneity gradient. Landscape heterogeneity also favored the abundance of parasitoid and anthophilous Diptera. Regarding plants, we found that more heterogeneous landscapes also held a higher abundance of zygomorphic flowers.
