Low investment in sexual reproduction threatens plants adapted to phosphorus limitation
Yuki Fujita,Harry Olde Venterink,Peter M. van Bodegom,Jacob C. Douma,Gerrit W. Heil,Norbert Hölzel,Ewa Jabłońska,Wiktor Kotowski,Thomasz Okruszko,Paweł Pawlikowski,Peter C. de Ruiter,Martin J. Wassen +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the impacts of nitrogen:phosphorus stoichiometry on plant species richness can be explained by selected plant life-history traits, notably by plant investments in growth versus reproduction.

TL;DR: The harvesting of vegetation will minimise potential P loss from rewetted WBZs and plant biomass yield may promote circular economy value chains and provide compensation to land owners for restored land now unsuitable for conventional farming.

TL;DR: In this article, a large number of near-natural and rewetted fen peatland sites in Europe were analyzed, finding persistent differences in plant community composition and ecosystem functioning, and higher variance in the restored sites.
Long-term effects of drainage and hay-removal on nutrient dynamics and limitation in the Biebrza mires, Poland
TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term effects of drainage and annual hay-removal on nutrient availabilities and vegetation response in undrained fens and floodplains were analyzed. And the authors concluded that hay removal may prevent productivity increase of the vegetation, but also may severely alter N:P:K stoichiometry, induce K-limitation at drained sites, and alter vegetation structure and composition.
Prospects for fen meadow restoration on severely degraded fens
Agata Klimkowska,Agata Klimkowska,Agata Klimkowska,Rudy van Diggelen,Rudy van Diggelen,Albert Grootjans,Albert Grootjans,Wiktor Kotowski +7 more
TL;DR: Under the present environmental conditions, the re-development of fen meadows on degraded fens will result in species compositions different from those observed in the past and such restoration may require considerable time and effort.
