This study investigated the establishment of 16 species of herbaceous, annual or short-lived perennial forbs, by sowing two different mixes in five experimental fields around Greece. The study aimed to examine the feasibility of establishing a naturalistic herbaceous community, as a more sustainable and visually enhancing alternative for landscape management at archaeological sites. Two seed mixes were designed with plant species selected from the pool of taxa recorded in seven archaeological sites around Greece. The mixes were sown in experimental plots during two sowing seasons: autumn and spring. Measurements were taken two months after each sowing period and included counting the number of seedlings for each species. Seedling density and emergence percentage for each species were calculated. Cutting was applied in one experimental field as a weed control method. Before field trials, seed germination tests were conducted under laboratory conditions. The most successful species regarding field establishment were Medicago polymorpha, Trifolium subterraneum and Calendula arvensis . Higher seedling densities (70 to 267 seedlings m−2) were recorded in autumn-sown plots compared to spring-sown plots (50 to 153 seedlings m−2). Cutting had a positive effect on weed control, reducing weed infestation from 72% in untreated plots to 25% in treated plots, while simultaneously it promoted seedling survival to 218 seedlings m−2 from 97 seedlings m−2 in untreated plots. The study proved that species which showed great adaptability to experimental field conditions could be successfully used to establish herbaceous meadows at archaeological sites.

在地中海地区的考古现场播种的适用于美学改良和植被管理的草本Forb混合物的响应

这项研究通过在希腊各地的五个实验田中播种两种不同的混合物,调查了16种草本,一年生或短命多年生Forbs的建立。这项研究旨在检验建立自然主义的草本群落的可行性,以作为在考古现场进行景观管理的更具可持续性和视觉效果的替代方案。设计了两种种子混合物,其植物种类选自在希腊周围七个考古遗址中记录的分类单元库。在两个播种季节(秋季和春季),在实验区播种了这些混合物。在每个播种期后两个月进行测量,包括计算每个物种的幼苗数量。计算每个物种的幼苗密度和出苗率。作为一种杂草控制方法,在一个实验领域进行了切割。在田间试验之前,在实验室条件下进行了种子发芽测试。关于野外建立最成功的物种是紫花苜蓿三叶地下金盏花。更高密度幼苗(70至267苗中号-2)被记录在秋季播种地块相比春播图(50至153苗中号-2)。插对杂草的防治具有积极作用,将杂草的侵扰率从未处理地块的72%减少到已处理地块的25%,同时将幼苗存活率从未处理地块的97苗m -2提高到218苗m -2。研究证明,对实验田间条件适应性强的物种可以成功地用于在考古现场建立草本草甸。
