<strong>de</strong>creased <strong>with</strong> time for eight species (group 3, see Fig. 16 for species names). For most<br />
species, the variances of the differences increased <strong>with</strong> time, probably reflecting the contrasted<br />
growth conditions in the nine <strong>crop</strong> treatments, which were pooled in the analysis shown in<br />

Fig. 16: Effect of weed seed addition on plant <strong>de</strong>nsity of 16 weed species during the 2-years experiment.<br />
The graphs show absolute differences of plant <strong>de</strong>nsities between adjacent sown and unsown plots; N varies<br />
between 15 and 24 for each date, double zeros are not plotted. Positive differences indicate that the sown plots<br />
had higher weed <strong>de</strong>nsities. Arrows () indicate the total <strong>de</strong>nsity of seeds sown at the beginning of the<br />
experiment (Table 7). Species are sorted by their frequency of occurrence (Veronica persica, most frequent; Poa<br />
annua, least frequent, Lamium purpureum germinated only very rarely and is not shown).<br />

During the 2.5-years experiment, absolute and relative weed biomass <strong>de</strong>creased in the<br />
perennial <strong>crop</strong> treatments and increased in the annual <strong>crop</strong> treatments (Fig. 17 and Fig. 18).<br />
During the first month after perennial <strong>crop</strong> sowing (autumn 2006 or spring 2007), all 6
