โœฆ Synopsis

A moving experiment is carried out at eight sites, situated at different levels in a Baltic salt meadow. The plots have been analyzed and mown with a scythe each year in August since 1979. The response of the sites to mowing is expressed as qualitative and quantitative changes in composition of the vegetation. So far, the most distinct changes in composition have been changes in relative importance of species already present in the initial vegetation. The resistance is found to be highest in the upper parts of the geolittoral, and lowest in the Phragmites australis swamp.

The population dynamics of the annual Spergularia marina was studied during four years on three different sites on a Baltic seashore meadow. The population density varied significantly both between years and between sites. At one of the sites the average population density was higher than at the two
