Abstract
The zonation of Poa pratensis and Lolium perenne at the margins of footpaths trodden by man is ascribed to the fact that these species are cryptophytic. The influence of treading by animals is to produce a deeply disturbed and shifting habitat which will be populated by therophytes.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
