Kiskun Restoration Experiments, Experiment 1, grassland restoration with mowing at clear-cut Robinia pseudo-acacia plantations

Experiment one (Exp1) involved mowing as treatment (1995-2001) on clear-cut and chemically treated previous Robinia pseudo-acacia plantations in Fülöpháza, Izsák and Bugac (three stations). A 30 m x 40 m block was allocated for the mowing treatment at each site with twelve adjacent plots of 10 m by 10 m, with six control (unmowed) and six treatment (mowed) plots randomly selected. We also had some reference grassland plots. Monitoring took place in three permanent 2 m x 2m units per each site (n=18/treatment) from 1995-1999, re-sampled several times until 2017.
