Melankholin P.N Change of grass canopy under decreasing recreational load in Moscow region // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2014. No 4. С.50-55. Changes in grass and dwarf shrub storey were tracked on the permanent monitoring plot in disturbed spruce stand during 4 years of recreational load and 13 years after the load have decreased. The higher the load level have been the 27-30% higher the diversity in grass canopy was observed by average number of species on 25 m2. The share of meadow and weed species were higher on the expense of taiga and Nemoral-boreal species. After the recreational load have decreased the less disturbed canopy doubled in area, while the more disturbed canopy area reduced by more than the half. Meadow species share decreased, while forest species share rose. Recreational disturbance, grass canopy, geobotanical description, ecological phytocenotic species group, dominant species.. |
