German study finds 99% rise in insects after reduced mowing at 45 grassland sites
Researchers in Germany conducted an experiment on reduced land use effects on grassland invertebrates. They found that invertebrate abundance increased by 41% in one year and 99% in three years. The study involved collecting samples from 45 grassland sites with controlled mowing practices. While species diversity remained similar, abundance varied based on surrounding land management practices. Further research is needed to understand the long-term effects of reduced mowing.
