Contents

Theoretical background; the development of grassland communities in north-western Europe; evaluation - changes in plant species richness; changes in plant communities; structural diversity and boundary effects; effects on the fauna; effects on soil characteristics (nutrients, decomposition, accumulation of litter); changes in Dutch landscapes in relation to mangement options; limiting factors - animal performance and carrying capacity; grazing in relation to other environmental factors (hydrology, acid rain, plant geography, time); Conclusion and perspectives.
