- W2893436983 abstract "Abstract Goat pasturing is often recommended for managing shrub-encroached dry grasslands, but entails higher grazing pressure. However, there have been few studies about the effects of goats on assumedly grazing sensitive geophytes. Therefore, in conservation practice, low-intensity migratory herding is still preferred in dry grasslands inhabited by threatened geophytes, even when shrub encroachment is already advanced. We compared the effects of restorative goat paddock grazing and low-intensity migratory sheep herding on the performance of Gagea bohemica (Liliaceae) a threatened spring geophyte. For this purpose, we recorded G. bohemica cover as well as numbers of flowering and non-flowering individuals on a total of 24 permanent plots in 2013, 2014 and 2016 in three study areas in Central Germany. In 2014, all flowering plants were monitored weekly for mature seeds. In addition, we sampled litter layer cover as a proxy for grazing intensity to analyse the effects of this habitat feature on the abundance of G. bohemica. Overall, G. bohemica cover and individual numbers were higher in paddocks than in migratory herding sites. The best performance was recorded in plots with low litter layer cover. Only 5.9% of the observed individuals flowered and only 0.3% produced visible seed sets in 2014. In abandoned dry grasslands, G. bohemica benefits from a relatively high grazing pressure, resulting in a lower litter cover and subsequently higher light availability at ground level. Due to its low seed set and ability to reproduce vegetatively by subterranean bulbils, ground disturbance by livestock trampling may also constitute an important factor supporting short-distance dispersal of G. bohemica. Goat grazing is a successful tool to restore shrub-encroached dry grasslands with existing remnant populations of spring geophytes. We recommend paddock grazing by goats with a high grazing pressure starting in April after above-ground parts of G. bohemica have already withered." @default.
