Using the old-growth concept to identify old species-rich semi-natural grasslands
The concept of ‘old growth’, originally developed for forests, was recently extended to grassland to distinguish old natural grasslands (NG) from semi-natural grassland (SNG). Comparing mesophile SNGs of different ages, we show that the concept is also able to distinguish old SNGs from young SNGs an...
