Small-scale pattern in mountain grassland in North Wales

The spatial relationships at a scale of a few millimetres of some common species in upland grasslands of North Wales were investigated by the species-juxtaposition method. The cover/abundance of species at small scales varied due to the vegetation composition. Small-scale pattern is closely related...

Zusammenfassung:The spatial relationships at a scale of a few millimetres of some common species in upland grasslands of North Wales were investigated by the species-juxtaposition method. The cover/abundance of species at small scales varied due to the vegetation composition. Small-scale pattern is closely related to plant size. Most species were distributed together with other species as small-scale interspecific mixtures. Associations between species at small scales varied due to their competitive abilities and environmental differences.
