Abstract
It is commonly recognized that soil nutritional factors have a profound effect on the botanical composition of grasslands, especially in acidic, calcareous, and saline habitats. As a result of frequent application of fertilizers, semi-natural grasslands have gradually been transformed into intensively used cultivated grasslands; this has led to marked changes in their botanical composition. The numerous slow-growing species typical of low fertility sites, are gradually replaced by a few species with rapid growth and a high nutrient demand, so there is a decrease in species diversity.
