What works and why in grassland restoration in Germany? A multi-region social-ecological assessment and pilot implementation of successful approaches (Grassworks-2)
Project
Project code: TI-BD-08-BD-2021-2447, 16LW0098
Contract period: 01.11.2021
- 30.11.2024
Purpose of research: Applied research
In Grassworks, scientists from ecology, sustainability science and economy aim to investigate which factors are important for successful grassland restoration in a transdisciplinary research approach together with the Thünen Institute, as an interface between science and policy, and with the Deutscher Verband für Landschaftspflege (German association for landscape conservation). Grassworks will facilitate a uniquely comprehensive analysis of the direct and indirect drivers of restoration success of grassland ecosystems. Grasworks pursues a social-ecological systems approach that explicitly captures the dynamics of appreciation of biodiversity, improves governance structures, develops scenarios of future policy instruments and sustainability strategies and, thereby, makes an important contribution to protection of biodiversity in grasslands.
