Abstract
⺠We assessed limiting factors for beetles during grassland restoration. ⺠Success in replicating beetle assemblages reaches a plateau after 20 years. ⺠Restoration is dependent on seed addition to promote host-plants establishment. ⺠Dispersal traits and degree of host plant specialisation limit colonisation. ⺠Food web connectance decreases during restoration.
