Combined experiment

Based on the experiences of previous restoration experiments, a field experiment started in 2002 on three old fields abandoned at different times to test the effectiveness of various treatments and their combinations (ploughing as a basic treatment, carbon source addition, seeding with target species and mowing) in plots of 1 m2. Results of six years of treatments show that neither carbon addition nor mowing alone had any significant effect on the vegetation composition, but their combination had positive effect on the regeneration process. Seeding was successful, and the percentage cover of sown species increased the most in plots receiving seeding and mowing in combination.
