Dark diversity reveals assembly constraints across trophic levels in large-scale grassland restoration
1. Grassland biodiversity restoration efforts have largely focused on re-establishing diverse plant communities, with less attention paid to higher trophic levels such as invertebrates. 2. We established a controlled, field-scale restoration experiment across twelve lowland grassland sites in Switzerland in close collaboration with farmers. We manipulated seed addition (hay transfer, directly…
