Implication

Observational monitoring shows that low grazing intensity enhances butterfly species richness across undisturbed landscape matrices, highlighting the conservation value of semi-natural habitats.

Key Points

Distinct community composition developed between cultivated plots and grasslands, while low grazing intensity and adjacent forest cover elevated butterfly abundance.
Over 16,017 individuals across 78 species were recorded during systematic surveys, indicating that microhabitat features buffer anthropogenic disturbance.
Standardized visual counts along 500-m transects highlight that landscape heterogeneity sustains unique ecotonal communities and protects vulnerable taxa.
