Plant species diversity in an old, traditionally managed hay meadow compared to abandoned hay meadows in southwest Norway	2008-06-28		.txt	text/plain	5580	310	62	The species group indicators of traditional management was preliminary defined in Losvik (1993b) , and later (Losvik 1996b ) was shown to comprise species occurring in less than 60 YO of 548 plots (1-16 m2) of hay meadow vegetation analysed in western Norway by 6 different authors 1972-1991. The aim of the study was to compare the vegetation and ecology of 4 sites which formed a chronosequence, representing a successional series from a species-rich, old, traditionally managed hay-meadow to sites which had been abandoned for about 10, 20 and 30 years, respectively. Themes of special interest were: how important are the ecological factors years since abandonment and cover of tree canopy in deciding the composition of the vegetation, what differences in species diversity, as measured by species-area curves, are there between the sites, for how long are species which are characteristic for the agricultural landscape able to persist during overgrowing in such sites, and finally, what forest species and additional species are most important in the sites of this series of abandoned haymeadows.	./cache/cord-024166-t3qxscbp.txt	./txt/cord-024166-t3qxscbp.txt
