| Abstract/Contents: | "1) Species establishment after 3 years on artificially revegetated ski-slopes of Whistler Mountain, British Columbia, Canada and the nature of species associations were investigated in relation to altitude, slope, and soil properties. 2) The overall establishment of seeded species from the grass-legume mixture had been satisfactory. 3) Three of the seeded species, Festuca rubra L., Phleum pratense L., and Trifolium hybridum L. had cover values greater than their relative abundance in the seed mixture, whereas the remaining seeded species, Agrostis alba L., A. tenuis (Sibth.), Poa compressa L., and Trifolium repens L. were under-represented in the sward. 4) Analysis of variance was used to detect significant variations in the relative abundance of the four most abundant species in relation to altitude and slope angle. In productive habits, F. rubra and T. hybridum attained large cover values and constrained the establishment of the slower growing species, A. tenuis and P. pratense. The latter species were more abundant in resource-poor sites where competition from the productive species were reduced. 5) The vigorous, rhizomatous growth of F. rubra contributed to its dominance in the sward; its positive associations with P. pratense, detected by contact sampling and association analysis, were likely a result of differential rooting strategies. 6) The tussock habit of both A. tenuis and P. pratense restricted their co-habitation in productive sites where competition from F. rubra and T. hybridum is suggested to be most intense." |
