Abstract:
Evaluating seed production as a community function in species-rich temperate grasslands, we asked: (a) do ancient and restored grasslands differ in the composition of seed-producing species; (b) do seed-producing species of ancient and restored grasslands differ in their functional traits and habitat origin of their species; and (c) how does seed production change during the season considering management and is seed production different for the whole community and for the subset of species occurring in both types of grasslands? We assessed the species composition of flowering and fruiting species and collected propagule samples from three ancient and three restored grasslands.
