Abstract:

Results of 2-year studies on the primary production of a meadow (Stellario-Deschampsietum) are given. Apart of a brief, phytosociological characteristics, there has been in detail described the procedure, changes of plant standing crops, floristic analysis, statistical variation of samples, the disappearance rate of dead material and several ways of production estimate. It was found that divergencies in production estimates are rather high and depend upon the method of calculation. Difficulties, mostly procedural, connected both with the techniques of material collection and with the utilization of data for production calculations, are stressed. Method of production estimate on the basis of the direct analysis of increase in plant standing crop, is preferred.
