[Archive] Plant communities and soil seed banks in broadleaved–conifer mixtures on ancient woodland sites in lowland Britain

Lead Author: Richard Ferris

A survey of the ground flora in lowland plantations on ancient woodland sites highlighted its impoverished nature in the majority of stands compared to ancient semi-natural woodlands (ASNW) on similar site types. Within all sites, the crop species and planting arrangement significantly affected the composition and extent of the ground- and field-layer vegetation. The survey […]
