Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Main types of Pannonian sand grassland have persisted over recent decades without replacement by other vegetation types
- Observation Specialized sand and dry grassland species and grazing-adapted species declined in Pannonian sand grasslands
- Observation Species with higher nutrient and moisture requirements increased in Pannonian sand grasslands
- Association The decline in sand specialists was largest in pioneer sand vegetation
- Association Species with higher Ellenberg temperature indicator values decreased in pioneer sand vegetation, indicating a transition to more closed sand grasslands
- Recommendation Conservation management and future monitoring are needed to maintain the habitat quality of inland sand vegetation
