Ecosystem service measurements taken in three different grassland ecosystem types.

All measurements were taken in 2010.† excluded non-palatable species: Aegilops triunciales L., Brachypodium distachyon (L.) Beauv., Bromus diandrus Roth, Carduus pycnocephalus L., Centaurea solistitialis L., Taeniatherum caput-medusae L.‡ weighting factor to take into account that non-palatable species provide some low quality forage during their early development stages which we estimated to be approx. 30% of their total biomass.* as number of initially planted species varied among the grassland types, we did not use species richness as a diversity index.Ecosystem service measurements taken in three different grassland ecosystem types.
