Successional pathways in former pastures and heaths at Bergen, Western Norway

Auteur :
LOSVIK, M. H.

Description :
The vegetation discussed comprises stands on former pastures and heaths, in addition to closely related woodland stands. The vegetation is unstable, and constitutes stages in secondary successional series, initiated by the time management ceased. Stages of three successional series are recorded from the investigation area, and the occurrence of meadow species in proportion to woodland species indicates the successional position of a stand. Indicator species and local differential species indicate in what direction a succession will trend.
