Abstract

The research on grassland focuses on the influence of climatic change and management techniques on the evolution of botanical diversity. The research on field margins focuses on the evolution of botanical diversity upon establishing the fieldmargins and upon subsequent different managements. Different mixtures (e.g.local, commercial,...)are used.
