Abstract :
The paper deals with sown grassland naturalization models related to changes in botanical diversity of extensively
managed meadows under temperate climate conditions. The vegetation surveys were carried out in
S?li?k?s and Polyma Experimental Field Stations (Lithuania). Based on our research data and literature sources
(on the investigation of Lithuanian natural meadows), we developed the following hypothetical models of
sown grassland naturalization: vascular plant species constancy alteration chronocline, vascular plant species
constancy and productivity alteration topocline and a scheme of sown grassland naturalization on hilly landscape.
Here we consider extensive management and naturalization as one of most natural and requiring minor
investments method for grassland restoration.
