Abstract:AimThere is increasing interest in open‐ended restoration with the focus on restoring natural processes rather than static compositional goals. Here, we investigated vegetation dynamics in response to three decades of trophic rewilding with large herbivores in a recent anthropogenic, fertile 55‐km2 landscape on reclaimed marine sediments. This site provides important insights into plant community assembly in rewilded, young ecosystems.LocationOostvaardersplassen, the Netherlands.MethodsUsing field surveys and … Show more
