Changes in ecosystem (multi)functionality in semi-natural grasslands undergoing restoration management

The restoration of degraded ecosystems such as semi-natural grasslands has become an important goal in environmental policy. Yet, restoration usually focuses on reinstating a particular vegetation or habitat type, (structural recovery) and it remains unclear how the functioning of these systems changes during restoration and how specific management drives these changes. This will be studied with field observations and two experiments.
