Megjegyzések:	Grassland managers and scientists are increasingly interested in cost-effective alternative ways of grassland biodiversityconservation. Prescribed burning is a promising management tool which should be integrated in the planning of managementefforts. In addition, small-scale prescribed burning is an effective fire suppression strategy to decrease the serious negativeimpacts of uncontrolled burnings on ecosystems and human life. Prescribed burning forms an integral part of the North-American grassland management practice, while in Europe it is rarely applied, despite the fact that uncontrolled burning occursfrequently in some regions. Our goal was to evaluate the use of prescribed burning as a promising but neglected managementtool in European grasslands. We found that European studies on prescribed burning of grasslands are scarce and we concludethat annual burning is usually not an appropriate option for the conservation of species-rich grasslands. We reviewed burningstudies from North-America to identify findings which might be adapted to the European grassland conservation strategy. InNorth-America, contrary to Europe, the application of burning is fine tuned in terms of frequency and timing, and usuallycombined with other restoration measures (grazing or seed sowing). Thus, we conclude that with the application of carefullydesigned prescribed burning, multiple conservation goals, e.g. invasion control and enhancing landscape-level heterogeneity, canbe linked with an effective fire suppression strategy. We emphasize that for the application of prescribed burning in Europe, thegeneral findings of carefully designed case studies should be combined with the practical knowledge of conservation managersconcerning the local application circumstances to reach specific management objectives.
