Number of plant species on different grassland types in Austria: My research for this data resource brought to daylight, that the reaseacher of this original data is Mr. Andreas BOHNER at Gumpenstein and the publisher was Erich POETSCH who did not ask and speak to Mr. BOHNER for the data. Therefore the first publisher of this data has been Mr. BOHNER and POETSCH is only the not not authorised mentioner and user of the data set.

Fodder grassland in Austria:
Estimated use, animal density, nitrogen
and phosphorus nutrient entry and
important for understanding
the huge grassland biodiversity in Austria
causing moderate grassland fodder yields
Consider the low nutrient input by livestock manure and fertilizer
for a good grassland production, that austrian dairy farmers can
even export about 30% of their milk products and beef abroad
