“…Moreover, in another forest-steppe (where grazing ceased considerably earlier), canopy cover increased to ca. 73% (Erdős et al, 2015a), but grassland-related species are obviously able to survive even in the remaining, relatively small grassland patches (Erdős et al 2013b), and, to a certain degree, even within the forest patches (Erdős et al, 2015b).…”

“…Moreover, south-facing edges differ considerably from northfacing edges (Erdős et al 2013a). In addition, our preliminary studies showed that forest patches should be differentiated according to their size.…”

“…However, in the study area grazing has been prohibited since 1885 (Kiss 1915), and all forestry activities ceased in 1908 (Gaskó 2009). Consequently, spontaneous vegetation development resulted in a pattern which probably resembles the natural forest-grassland mosaic (Bodrogközy 1957, Gaskó 2009, Erdős et al 2013a. In this process, the forest opened up and the structurally and compositionally near-natural grassland vegetation was able to recover in the treeless patches.…”

“…The identity of ecotones (i.e., the type and extent of community composition shifts) can vary spatially and temporally (Danz et al 2013). Ecotones and their properties have been described in a wide range of systems; along gradients of bird distributions (Williams et al 1999), at grassland-forest edges (Danz et al 2013, Erdős et al 2013) and at wetlandforest boundaries (Carter et al 1994, Kirkman et al 1998, Brownstein et al 2013; in both natural and modified habitats (Lloyd et al 2000, Walker et al 2003. However, studies of vegetation dynamics in ecotones often report findings that are contradictory or inconsistent with each other and there is little agreement about how ecotones function.…”
