| Description | Survival of broad-leaved dock ( Rumex obtusifolius L.) plants exposed to grass competition in unmanaged grassland in Central Europe was investigated. Individual plants (n = 244) were marked in 1999 and their mortality recorded twice a year, until 2007. Eight years of unrestricted competition with grass killed nearly all dock plants. Both winter mortality (October , April) and summer mortality (May , September) varied greatly between years. The numbers of plants dead during each of the periods were regressed against five meteorological factors that might affect dock mortality. |
