Discussion
- Insect hibernation – the impact of autumnal mowing
- Springtime insect eclosion – the effect of autumnal mowing
- Soil eclosing insects – the role of soil for hibernation
- Plant compartments as places for insect hibernation – the role of structural diversity
- Insect orders - their hibernal occurrence in plant organs
- Unmown meadows – their overall role in the ecosystem
Recommendation for practice
- Adapted mowing concept to stabilise and expand insect populations on grassland ecosystems
