Rapid functional but slow species diversity recovery of steppe vegetation on former arable fields in southern Ukraine

Questions European steppes are among the most threatened ecosystems in the Palaearctic region, mainly because of conversion to arable land. Abandonment may allow for the passive recovery of steppes. We made use of an exceptional old‐field succession chronosequence of nearly 100 years to answer the f...
