Reduced mowing at 45 German grassland sites led to a 99% rise in insects
A German study examined 45 grassland sites to see how changes in mowing practices affected insect populations. Researchers found that reducing how often the grasslands were mown was associated with a roughly 99% increase in insects. The findings suggest that less frequent mowing can meaningfully support insect life in grassland habitats. The results point to a simple management change that may help counter declines in insect numbers.
