Restoration attempts aiming at the recovery of species-rich alluvial grasslands along the northern Upper Rhine were evaluated with regard to the effects of flooding and management on plant dispersal and seedling recruitment. The overall aim of the studies was to assess the limiting abiotic and biotic constraints to the restoration of flood-plain communities. As a starting point for further studies large-scaled restoration measures on former arable fields were evaluated by analysing floristic composition and soil nutrient status of old and newly established meadows in the functional and fossil flood-plain. Whereas the functional flood-plain is exposed to direct flooding which allows a free input of diaspores, the fossil flood-plain is protec...
