This study investigates how three common grassland management practices—organic production, eco-scheme extensive management, and harvest type (pasture vs. meadow)—affect 22 ecosystem-service indicators and plot-scale multifunctionality in Swiss agricultural grasslands. The results show that while organic production and eco-scheme extensive management have minor effects, the eco-scheme and pasture harvest type significantly enhance multifunctionality by improving cultural services at the expense of provisioning services. These changes are mainly due to reduced fertilizer input and harvest frequency, which lower land-use intensity. The study highlights the importance of managing grasslands to balance ecosystem services, especially in landscapes dominated by intensive management. It also shows that combining these management aspects can increase ecosystem services that are in short supply. The findings suggest that diversifying grassland management, where it is currently homogeneous, is an important first step to improve landscape-scale multifunctionality for sustainable grassland systems. The study also emphasizes the need to consider regional and national fertilization standards when applying these findings elsewhere. Overall, the results indicate that reducing land-use intensity is key to improving ecosystem-service multifunctionality, although this comes at the cost of some provisioning services. The study provides evidence that eco-scheme extensive management has a strong positive effect on ecosystem-service multifunctionality, particularly for cultural services, and that pasture management promotes overall plot-scale multifunctionality, especially regarding cultural services. The study also shows that different management practices can have varying effects on different ecosystem services, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to grassland management.This study investigates how three common grassland management practices—organic production, eco-scheme extensive management, and harvest type (pasture vs. meadow)—affect 22 ecosystem-service indicators and plot-scale multifunctionality in Swiss agricultural grasslands.
