Some results of stationary study of abandoned field succession in Troitsk Forest-Steppe Reserve

摘要

Long-term (18 years, 1978-1995) observations of an abandoned field succession were conducted in Troitsk Forest-Steppe Reserve in Russia. The stage of field weeds lasted until 1983. Since 1984, a formation of the forb-feather-grass (Stipa pennata) steppe started in the abandoned field. The stage of rootstock grasses fell out. At the very end of the observation period, the physiognomy of the abandoned field was analogous to the climax plant community.
