Biotic and abiotic edge effects in highly fragmented heathlands adjacent to cropland and forest
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how adjacent land use, in this case cropland and forest, affects the heathland plant community and soil chemical composition, and whether potential edge effects differ according to adjacent land uses type or edge orientation.

Fire increases aboveground biomass, seed production and recruitment success of Molinia caerulea in dry heathland
TL;DR: It is found that fire significantly increased aboveground biomass, seed set and germination of Molinia, and the seed germination experiment indicated that seeds harvested from plants in burned heathland showed higher germination rates than those from unburned heathlands.

The effects of management on the ground flora of ancient woodland, Brigsteer Park Wood, Cumbria, England
TL;DR: It is concluded that coppicing is likely to be effective in maintaining the existing ground flora in perpetuity in response to silvicultural management over an 18 year period.

Seed shed in the making of hay from mesotrophic grassland in a field in Northern England : effects of hay cut date, grazing and fertilizer in a split-split-plot experiment
TL;DR: A hay crop was cut at three different dates in 1990 from a mesotrophic (meadow) grassland in Upper Teesdale, under various fertilizer, grazing and cut date treatments in a split-split-plot field experiment, finding 17 species showed significant differences in the amount of seed extracted at different cut dates.

Morphological responses to nutrient availability in four clonal herbs
TL;DR: Morphological plasticity in the stoloniferous (Trifolium) species was much larger than in the rhizomatous (Carex) species, which seems in accordance with a foremost storage function of rhizomes, as against a foremost explorative function of stolons.
