Abstract
The problems of managing chalk grassland nature reserves in Britain are briefly reviewed and methods of management are described. The effects of management on populations of invertebrate animals characteristic of chalk grassland are considered with reference to the results of experimental studies and to other information on their ecology. An attempt is made to relate these effects to species that are dependent on (1) grazing vertebrate animals, (2) particular chalk grassland plants, and (3) the gross structure of the vegetation. Interim recommendations are made for the management of nature reserves in which diversity of the fauna is an important object of management.
