“…The management and restoration of remaining semi-natural grasslands is vital, but so is a more holistic landscape approach that also takes into account other potentially valuable herbaceous habitats, such as field margins, forest edges, clear-cuts, power-line corridors, and fallows (Jonason et al, 2010;Berg et al, 2011;Blixt et al, 2015;Korpela et al, 2015;Toivonen et al, 2015;Viljur & Teder, 2016). Conservation measures could include, for example, establishing new grassland patches, such as long-term perennial fallows (Alanen et al, 2011;Toivonen et al, 2015), close to forests, and logging at sunny forest edges to increase openness and structural heterogeneity in fieldforest ecotones (Merckx & Berwaerts, 2010;Merckx et al, 2012;Korpela et al, 2015). Our results support the view that forested landscapes provide excellent possibilities to enhance the conservation of grassland butterflies (Blixt et al, 2015;Korpela et al, 2015;Toivonen et al, 2015;Villemey et al, 2015;Viljur & Teder, 2016), including species with declining population trends.…”
