Abstract
Abstract This chapter develops the important feature that grassland biodiversity has to be viewed in relation to climate changes, and that long-term experimental platforms allowing the manipulation of some climate parameters are necessary for understanding and forecasting future trends in the vegetation dynamics of grasslands. It presents two long-term experiments on an ancient limestone grassland ecosystems situated in the southern Pennines of north Derbyshire, and at Wytham, near Oxford in southern England. The general predictions of ecosystem resistance and resilience and the significance of these predictions are explored.
