Meeting of the project on the restoration of semi-natural grasslands and agricultural fields led to alvar grassland in Muhu and Saaremaa

The international project “Interactive effects of local and landscape scale restoration of semi-natural grasslands and agricultural fields on species interactions and ecosystem functions” (InterRest) is the third and last year of the project. In June, the project team gathered for a workshop in Laelatu to discuss different analysis methods and publication ideas.
