Effects of ‘year’, ‘management’ and ‘site’ on the vegetation characteristics in dry-, mesophilous- and wet grasslands.

In the three-factorial repeated measures GLM ‘year’ was included as repeated measures factor, and ‘management’ (fenced vs. grazed plots) and ‘site’ as fixed factors. Significant effects are marked with boldface. For ‘noxious perennials’ and ‘noxious short-lived’ species the cover scores were tested. For ‘WB’ and ‘specific height’ cover weighted scores were calculated and tested. See the detailed mean scores in Table S2.
