Phytocenotypes and Ecocenotic Potentials of Meadow Grasses

The systems of Ramenskii's cenobiotic types and Grime's life strategies applied to meadow grasses are compared, and differences between these systems are demonstrated. The parameters of violence of meadow grasses in the aboveground and underground spheres are discussed. The methods for evaluating the degrees of shade tolerance in grasses and their tolerance to sodding are proposed. Two types of explerence are distinguished in meadow grasses (cenophobic and cenofluctuation explerence).
