An analysis was made of which floral elements particular plant taxa belonged to, as well as an analysis of the life forms. In the vegetation cover of this area plants of the Eurasian floral element as well as European plants represent the major propor- tion. This shows that in the phytogeographical aspect this area belongs to the Eurosiberian- Northamerican region. According to life forms, vascular plants are distributed in the following numbers: H=650, T=355, G=148, P=209, Ch=70, Hy=33.

Stroh* Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland, Cambridge University Botanic Garden, 1 Brookside, Cambridge CB2 1JE, UK *Corresponding author: Peter Stroh: [email protected] This pdf constitutes the Version of Record published on 21st May 2019 Abstract The results of monitoring a population of Anacamptis morio over a 40-year period (1978-2017) in a permanent plot at Upwood Meadows NNR, Huntingdonshire, are presented. Flowering and vegetative plants were recorded each year, with individuals relocated using phenomarkers and triangulation. The majority of plants flowered for over half of their lifespan, the average lifespan of an individual plant was almost 10 years, and the known maximum lifespan above-ground for an individual was at least 36 years. The average age of the cohort became much younger over the course of the study, with potential reasons given including extreme old age, a lack of recruitment, and climate. Key words: demography; fixed plot; recruitment; mortality; triangulation Introduction In 1962 Terry Wells became the Nature Conservancy’s first grassland ecologist, based at Monks Wood, Huntingdonshire. In his first three years at the Research Station he set up a number of long-term monitoring projects, mainly across the chalk and limestone of southern England, designed to study the dynamics of British orchids and changes to associated vegetation. One of the first of these studies, set up in the early 1960s, followed the fate of a cohort of Autumn Lady’s Tresses (Spiranthes spiralis) at Knocking Hoe in Bedfordshire.

Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management (INA) is responsible of the Master of Ecology programme. I would like to thank my main supervisor, Dr. Siri Fjellheim (IPV). I couldn't have asked for a better supervisor. She has been extremely supportive, encouraging and helpful in all parts of the process of this master, from the beginning when she convinced me that grasses really rocks, and especially in the very end in the writing process. I would also like to thank Dr. Fjellheim for putting together a brilliant team of supervisors with different fields of expertise for my thesis. I am so grateful to my co-supervisors, Dr. Thomas Marcussen (IPV), and Dr. Hans Martin Hanslin (Nibio). They were both exceedingly helpful during the work with this thesis, thank you for invaluable comments on the manuscript. Thomas Marcussen made a big difference for this thesis. I am so grateful for his tirelessly effort of teaching me phylogeny and computer programmes I had never heard of. Also, thank you for many interesting discussions and a constant flow of important botanical fun facts. The growth experiment was set up under Hans Martin Hanslin's supervision. He provided invaluable help, making me understand the importance of details in such projects.

Therefore, the aim of our research was to describe elements of seed propagation of some minor grass species. On the basis of field experiments, different spacing and seed quantities were investi- gated for Beckmannia eruciformis, Cynosurus cristatus and Elytrigia elongata aiming at an optimal seed production. Satisfying seed yields were obtained even at a reduced (50% to 75%) amount of seed quantity, as compared to theoretical (or normal) values, calculated on the basis of number of plants per area unit. Key words: Beckmannia, Cynosurus, Elytrigia elongata, seed yields, INTRODUCTION European semi-natural grasslands are a result of long, stable utilization of lowland and mountain areas for hay and as a pasture. Their botanical com- position was extremely rich since the absence of fertilization enabled the presence of many low-growing species (Scotton et.al. 2012). Recent changes in agriculture, with the use of mineral fertilizers, mechanization, drainage and the introduction of highly selected varieties of forage species, led to a significant changes of grassland ecosystems with for example re- duction of species and varieties used.

The work has been funded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (Department of the Environment, Heritage & Local Government). We would like to thank Marie Dromey for her guidance throughout the project and Simon Barron and Claire Byrne for their opinions and advice. We acknowledge the help of Jim Moore, Jim Ryan, Caitríona Douglas, Naomi Kingston, Claudia Kemna Lee and Helena Campbell of the NPWS, plus other NPWS field staff who suggested sites for survey. Dr Tamara Hochstrasser, Dr David Bourke and Stephen Heery also gave us invaluable assistance. We are grateful to Cliodhna Ni Bhrain, Karl Duffy, Saoirse O’Donoghue and Aisling Walsh for their hard work in the field. We also appreciate the mapping expertise brought to the project by Fernando Fernandez Valverde. Finally, we thank the farmers of Offaly and Roscommon for giving us permission to survey their land and for the background information they provided. Executive Summary Ninety-one sites and 305 relevés in Roscommon and Offaly were surveyed from May to September 2007. Of the 91 sites 39 were within a designated area, SAC (Special Area of Conservation) or NHA (Natural Heritage Area). Wet grassland was the most frequent semi-natural grassland habitat, recorded at 65% of sites, and dry-humid grassland was the least frequent found at 8% of sites. The most common EU Annex I grassland habitats were Festuca-Brometalia (6210/6211) recorded at 18% of sites and Molinia meadows (6410) recorded at 13% of sites.

  • Invoking the Ancestors – Conservation Evidence Draft
    J. S. Winder / Conservation Evidence (2013) 10, 20-23 Restoring species-rich grassland at New Grove Meadows, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK Janice S. Winder* Box Bush, Birches Road, Penallt, Monmouthshire, NP25 4AW, UK SUMMARY Concern over the decline in species-rich grassland in the UK has led to a focus on restoration. This study looks at the rate of natural colonisation of species into semi-improved grassland from adjacent unimproved species rich grassland over a 12 year period. During this period the grassland had been managed traditionally with an annual hay cut followed by aftermath grazing and no input of fertilizer or farm yard manure. During 2000 and 2012 vegetation surveys were carried out on two unimproved fields and two semi-improved fields. These data were analysed for species-richness using two variables; Total species, and Wildlife Site Indicator species. A National Vegetation Classification survey was undertaken in 2012. Species-richness increased significantly in the semi- improved meadows during the study period. These meadows now meet the criteria for Wildlife Site designation and the National Vegetation Classification community is shifting from MG6 to the target community MG5. BACKGROUND supporting one of the largest populations of Green-winged orchid Anacamptis morio in Monmouthshire. Other species of Species1rich grassland has suffered a dramatic decline in interest include Common Spotted-orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsia, the UK over the past 100 years. Lowland semi-natural Common Twayblade Neottia ovata, Dyer’s Greenweed meadows have declined more than any other grassland type Genista tinctoria, Moonwort Botrychium lunaria and Adders- since the 1930’s (Fuller 1987). Consequently there has been a tongue Fern Ophioglossum vulgatum.
