Abstract/Contents:"Two studies on the effects of stand structure on establishment of seedlings in Callunetum are described. In the first, the canopy, ground layer, and L + F horizon were successively removed in two species-poor kinds of Callunetum on podsols, one species-rich Callunetum on a brown forest soil and a Molinia caerulea-rich Callunetum on a thin blanket peat in north Scotland. The early establishment of eight species sown experimentally was examined. The canopy and ground layer both reduced establishment at the two latter sites but had little effect at the two podsol sites. The L + F horizon markedly reduced establishment at all sites. Addition of fertilizer tended to increase establishment and to change the relative effect of different layers. In the second study, patches of bare soil, 2500, 250 and 25 cm2 in area, were created at the brown forest soil site. The establishment of self-sown seedlings was examined when vegetative regeneration was both permitted and largely prevented. Early establishment of most species decreased with increasing patch size, but later survival showed the reverse trend. The proportion of new cover from vegetative regeneration increased greatly with decreasing patch size and cover from seed correspondingly declined. The results, and their relation to the stability of Callunetum, are discussed."
