The origin of grasslands in the temperate forest zone of east-central Europe: long-term legacy of climate and human impact
The post-glacial fate of central European grasslands has stimulated palaeoecological
debates for a century. Some argued for the continuous survival of open land, while others …

Mid-Holocene bottleneck for central European dry grasslands: did steppe survive the forest optimum in northern Bohemia, Czech Republic?
Revisiting the classical Gradmann's 'steppe theory'for central Europe, we examine whether
the early Holocene steppe habitats survived the critical period of maximum Holocene …
