Year-round cattle grazing as an alternative management of hay meadows in the Giant Mts. (Krkonoše, Karkonosze), The Czech Republic

Original language description

We investigated the effect of year-round Highland cattle grazing as an alternative management form of species-rich mountain grassland in the Krkonoše National Park (Giant Mts.). Traditional management of the Polygono-Trisetion grasslands consisted of mowing once or twice a year and cattle grazing for the rest of the vegetation season. Continuation of the traditional management is not possible for its low profitability. In spring 2000, we established a complete randomized block experiment with four replication and three treatments in 5x5 m plots. Treatments were: no management, mowing once a year and extensive grazing by Highland cattle without management of non-grazed vegetation. Alopecurus pratensis, Dactylis glomerata, Geranium sylvaticum, Hypericummaculatum, Lathyrus pratensis, Senecio ovatus, Veratrum album subsp. lobelianum, and Veronica chamaedrys were species which increased in cover under no management after three seasons of various management. Differences between grazed and m
