The impact of grassland management on plant species diversity at a mesothropic site in an eight-year-long experiment
Original language description
At Jevíčko site in the Czech Republic, a long-term small-plot trial with tall oatgrass stand type (Arrhenatherion) was established on permanent grassland in 2003, with different grassland management; four intensity of utilisation and four levels of fertilizer application were used. Botanical composition was monitoring in years 2003 ? 2011. We evaluated effect of utilisation and fertilisation on botanical composition. ANOVA was used for the data analysis.In total 87 plant species were identified between2003 and 2011. Botanical composition was above all influenced by nitrogen fertilization, which supports grass species and reduces legumes and other forbs. Higher grass proportion was found in two-cut regimes (I3, I4), too. A higher diversity of plant species and a more balanced proportion of functional groups (grasses, legumes, forbs) were found especially in grassland without nitrogen fertilization.
