“…Double precipitation decreased C 3 biomass in 2015 (b) and warming increased C 3 biomass in 2015, the wettest year (c). In panel (a), AMB is ambient precipitation, DP is double precipitation, and HP is halved precipitation; in panel ( with other studies in grassland succession (Booth, 1941;Odum Eugene, 1960;Perino & Risser, 1972). For example, reduced foliage herbivory resulted in large increases in perennial grass growth and reduction in forb abundance (Brown & Gange, 1992).…”

Succession theory predicts altered sensitivity of ecosystem functions to disturbance (i.e., climate change) due to the temporal shift in plant community composition. However, empirical evidence in global change experiments is lacking to support this prediction. Here, we present findings from an 8-year long-term global change experiment with warming and altered precipitation manipulation (double and halved amount). First, we observed a temporal shift in species composition over 8 years, resulting in a transition from an annual C -dominant plant community to a perennial C -dominant plant community. This successional transition was independent of any experimental treatments. During the successional transition, the response of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) to precipitation addition magnified from neutral to +45.3%, while the response to halved precipitation attenuated substantially from -17.6% to neutral. However, warming did not affect ANPP in either state. The findings further reveal that the time-dependent climate sensitivity may be regulated by successional change in species composition, highlighting the importance of vegetation dynamics in regulating the response of ecosystem productivity to precipitation change.

“…Cerastium glomeratum Thuill., Chenopodium album L., A. arvensis, B. incana (Table 1). The pioneer community of short cycle annual species was already observed in abandoned fields by several authors (Booth, 1941;Kaputska and Molenski, 1976;Perino and Risser, 1972;D'Angela et al, 1986;Omacini et al, 1995), and the most commonly observed pattern is a rapid exponential increase of its populations and all microsites are occupied in only one or two generations (Law, 1981).…”

“…The early succession in abandoned fields in Kansas and Oklahoma (USA) begins with a weedy community stage lasting from 2 to 3 years, followed by an annual grass stage from 9 to 13 years and a perennial bunch grass stage up to 30 years, resulting in a tall grass prairie (Booth, 1941;Perino and Risser, 1972).…”

Vegetation changes after 15 years of abandonment of crop fields in the Pampas region (Argentina)

S. Boccanelli, E. Pire, and J. Lewis. 2010. Vegetation changes after 15 years of abandonment of crop fields in the Pampas Region (Argentina). Cien. Inv. Agr. 37(2): 45-53. Agriculture has been practised in the Argentine Pampa Region for more than a century. This long history of disturbance has strongly modified the native vegetation of the region. Some original species have disappeared or its area has been remarkably reduced. The objective was to evaluate vegetation changes over time after the abandonment of agriculture practice. Our hypothesis was that over time vegetation in this region will evolve towards a "flechillar" (Stipa spp. community) similar to the original vegetation. The experiment was conducted at Zavalla (Santa Fe) Argentina (33º 01' S, 60º 53' W and 50 m.a.s.l.). Vegetation evolution was studied during 15 years (1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997) after abandonment, considering four initial crop situations (i.e. wheat, soybean, pasture and tillage). Periodically, we measured species cover and abundance in 60 subplots. Data was analyzed using multivariate methods. We identified several groups corresponding to two very well defined successional stages. The first group was very small, and showed predominance of annual species; the second group showed a reduction or almost disappearance of annuals and an increase in perennials such as Baccharis salicifolia (Ruiz & Pav.) Pers. and Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. accompanied by Carduus acanthoides L. Therefore, a secondary succession was developed, with a first stage of annual species dominance followed by long life cycle species. However, even after 15 years there was no reversion of the vegetation to the original community.

“…En el segundo año estas malezas desaparecieron junto con el trigo no así el sorgo, como ocurre también en el oeste de Buenos Aires (D Angela et al, 1986). Esta comunidad puede considerarse la primera etapa de esta sucesión que es muy similar a la de otros ecosistemas de distintos lugares (Perino & Risser, 1972;Kaputska & Molenski, 1976;Collins & Adams, 1983;D Angela et al, 1986;Inouye et al, 1987;Lewis et al, 1987).…”

“…Las primeras especies en colonizar el área después de ser abandonada son las especies del cultivo previo (Bazzaz, 1968), en praderas norteamericanas; después de la etapa de malezas sigue una etapa de pastos anuales; luego otra de pastos cespitosos, y finalmente la pradera madura, formada fundamentalmente por los pastos indígenas, después de 40 años o más (Perino & Risser, 1972;Kaputska & Molenski, 1976;Collins & Adams, 1983;Inouye et al, 1987).…”

RESUMEN -La vegetación prístina de los campos altos del sur de Santa Fe (Argentina) son distintos tipos de flechillares caracterizados por la abundancia de varias especies del género Stipa. Cuando un campo agrícola se abandona suele revertir a las comunidades prístinas. El objeto de este trabajo es analizar los diez primeros años de la sucesión secundaria de un campo sometido a agricultura durante largo tiempo que se abandonó después de un cultivo de trigo (Triticum aestivum). En el primer año aparece trigo acompañado de malezas anuales (Chenopodium album y Portulaca oleracea); después del primer año una parcela fue colonizada por Baccharis salicifolia y las otras por Carduus acanthoides, Cerastium glomeratum, Ammi majus, etc. Los últimos años constituyen una etapa en la que disminuye la diversidad y se establece una fuerte dominancia de Baccharis salicifolia o Carduus acanthoides. El Sorgo de Alepo (Sorghum halepense) aparece en las etapas tempranas y perdura durante todo el período con valores altos de abundancia. Aún, prácticamente no han aparecido especies de los flechillares, por lo tanto se concluye que no ha transcurrido suficiente tiempo para que se regenere el flechillar, o porque sus especies no se encuentran en los bancos de semillas o en las proximidades.Términos para índice: Pampa, pradera, Triticum aestivum, sucesión, diversidad, dinámica de la vegetación. VEGETATION CHANGES IN A FIELD ABANDONED AFTER A WHEAT CROPABSTRACT -The natural vegetation of well drained fields of Southern Santa Fe (Argentina) are a different kind of communities characterized by the abundance of several species of Stipa. When agricultural lands are abandoned, they are often recolonized by the original vegetation. The object of this paper is to analize the first ten years of secondary succession on a field under a long time of agriculture abandoned after a wheat crop. On the first year, wheat with annual weeds (Chenopodium album and Portulaca oleracea) appeared. After the first year, one plot was colonized by Baccharis salicifolia and the others by Carduus acanthoides, Cerastium glomeratum, Ammi majus, etc. The last years constitute another stage where diversity is reduced and a strong dominance of Baccharis salicifolia or Carduus acanthoides becomes visible. Johnson grass appeared at the begining of the succession and stayed for the whole period with high abundance values. So far no species of the natural communities have established on this field, possibly because not enough time has elapsed yet or because they are absent from the seed bank or in the neighbourhood.
