The vitality of Miscanthus sacchariflorus in a difficult habitat
Abstract
The recently preferred park type of reclamation of post-industrial waste lands makes it possible to use perennial species of grass, of ornamental type in the reclamation. Such grass types may make lasting and impressive compositions in the above land. The aim of the study was to assess the vitality of Miscanthus sacchariflorus in the seventh year of growth on a carboniferous waste dumping site.Analysis of height and number of generative shoots and length of inflorescences revealed a weakened vitality of the plants and limited possibilities for the miscant to spread in the difficult conditions of the habitat. With application of low and irregular fertilizing, the species survives, however, in the extreme conditions of the dumping site, maintains its decorative function, and meets the requirements imposed upon plants in the process of reclamation.
