Megjegyzések:	There are contrasting opinions on the use of prescribed burning management in European grasslands. On the onehand, prescribed burning can be effectively used for the management of open landscapes, controlling dominantspecies, reducing accumulated litter or decreasingwildfire risk. On the other hand burning can have a detrimentalimpact on grassland biodiversity by supporting competitor grasses and by threatening several rare and endangeredspecies, especially arthropods.We studied the effects of prescribed burning in alkaline grasslands of highconservation interest. Our aim was to test whether dormant-season prescribed burning can be an alternativeconservation measure in these grasslands. We selected six sites in East-Hungary: in three sites, a prescribedfire was applied in November 2011, while three sites remained unburnt. We studied the effects of burning onsoil characteristics, plant biomass and on the composition of vegetation and arthropod assemblages (isopods, spiders,ground beetles and rove beetles). Soil pH, organic matter, potassium and phosphorous did not change, butsoluble salt content increased significantly in the burnt sites. Prescribed burning had several positive effects fromthe nature conservation viewpoint. Shannon diversity and the number of flowering shoots were higher, and thecover of the dominant grass Festuca pseudovinawas lower in the burnt sites. Graminoid biomasswas lower,whiletotal, green and forb biomasswere higher in the burnt plots compared to the control. The key finding of our study was that prescribed burning did not decrease the abundance and diversity of arthropod taxa. Species-level analysesshowed that out of the most abundant invertebrate species, 10 were not affected, 1 was negatively and 1 waspositively affected by burning. Moreover, our results suggest that prescribed burning leaving unburnt patchescan be a viable management tool in open landscapes, because it supports plant diversity and does not threatenarthropods.
