Description
Emilian Canișag and five co-authors published a grassland ecology study in twenty twenty-five on fertilizing species-rich mountain meadows in Romania's Eastern Carpathians. These high nature value grasslands, dominated by mat grass, are sensitive to how much feed farmers add. An experiment begun in twenty twenty-one tested nine regimes over three years.
Treatments ranged from no fertilizer to heavy mineral doses, with manure applied in autumn or spring. Plant surveys sorted the plots into six community types along a fertility gradient. Light to moderate manure maximized species richness and evenness while keeping the original character. Heavy feeding pushed communities toward nutrient-loving species. The study gives mountain farmers a dose that helps grass without erasing diversity.
