Productivity of differently managed mountain meadows
Mašková, Z. ; Květ, Jan ; Zelený, D.
A mountain meadow (about 1160 asl) situated in the Šumava NP/BR was subjected to 3 treatments applied in mid-July in 4 succesive years: (i)mowing, (ii)mulching, (iii)no management. Seasonal courses of aboveground biomass varied between 0,35-0,5 kg.m-2 in all treatments and years while belowground biomass did between 6-9 kg.m-2. R/S ratio varied between 6-18, being mostly highest in the mown treatment. Litter dry weight varied mostly between 0,2-0,8 kg.m-2, being usually hightest in the unmanaged treatment. Seasonal courses of the above 3 production characteristics were highly variable. Estimated average annual aboveground net production was 0,6-0,7 kg.m-2 for all treatments and years.
