The impact of neighbourhood and gap character on seedling recruitment of Trollius europaeus L. and Iris sibirica L. in Molinietum caeruleae meadows

Abstract: Abstract:The observations were carried out in the years [2007][2008][2009][2010], in the Molinietum caeruleae meadows with different habitat conditions located in Kraków-Kostrze (southern Poland). The greatest number of seedlings of Trollius europaeus and Iris sibirica was recorded in patches dominated by low-statured species with delicate, procumbent stems or small-tussocks. The diminishing of offspring emergence in places prevailed by large-tussocks grasses, as well as in sites overgrown by willows could be … Show more

“…Despite of similarity in floristic composition among openings, the obtained results did not uphold the null hypothesis and have showed, that many species present a positive correlation between gap dimensions and seedling number. The performed observations are consistent with the observations of colonization of different-sized openings by seedlings of Cirsium arvense [50], Solidago canadensis [51,52], as well as Iris sibirica [53].…”

“…The investigations of Fibich et al [26] documented that gaps are colonized predominantly from seeds. Other studies [27][28][29][30] documented that the number of species and seedlings occurring in gaps diminishes across the succession gradient from patches dominated by small meadow taxa, through those dominated by large tussock grasses, to those overgrown by shrubs and trees. The influence of the life history traits of clonal plants on the colonization of gaps left after weak, medium and strong disturbances was investigated by KostrakiewiczGierałt [28,29], who also observed [28,30] the effect of the life history traits of clonal plants on recruitment rates in gaps of different sizes as well as the role of seed weight in the colonization of small, intermediate and large openings [27].…”

“…Timing of seedling establishment is also affected by the existence of suitable gaps in the vegetation, as indicated by the results of a Polish study (Kostrakiewicz‐Gieralt, 2015). This author found that after gap creation in meadow vegetation, more seedlings emerged when gaps were created in spring, but some seedling emergence was also stimulated by gap creation in early July or in mid‐September.…”

“…contrast, in a sowing experiment carried out under field conditions in Warwickshire,Roberts and Boddrell (1985) observed substantial seed germination of G. pratense from January onwards, with almost complete germination by May.Timing of seedling establishment is also affected by the existence of suitable gaps in the vegetation, as indicated by the results of a Polish study(Kostrakiewicz-Gieralt, 2015).
