Wet grasslands once covered a large area in the lowlands of northern Germany, but have declined since several decades as a result of land use intensification. Permanent plot data from such grasslands in the region that would allow to assess the extent of changes in species composition and richness are still rare. Here, we present a re-visitation study of 52 quasi-permanent plots from the Stedinger Land area in the basin of the river Weser near Bremen, comparing quadrat data between 1948 and 2015. In 1948, the grasslands were characterized by species typical of wet, moderately fertile grasslands belonging to the Bromo-Senecionetum aquatici (Bromion racemosi), including 15 species currently classified as threatened. Until 2015, the vegetation...
