Slow and context-dependent: Responses to grassland extensification across a comprehensive set of ecosystem attributes
Short-term extensification affected 40% of indicators across ecosystem attributes Not all observed outcomes aligned with predefined restoration targets Belowground responses were weak, likely due to time lags and low nutrient depletion Extensification outcomes varied with site productivity and land-use history Extensification is not universally effective and may require complementary measures Graphical
