Abstract
The reactions of 6 spp. to 5 kinds of soil (sand, calcareous sand, clay, chalky clay, and Potterne soil) are given by descriptions and statistical tables. Centaurea nemoralis maintains itself as a persistent perennial with no morphological changes; Silene maritima var. shows differential death rates (high on sand); Plantago major is exceedingly plastic; Phleum pratense and P. nodosum show great quantitative differences on different soils; with Fra-garia vesca re-transplanting showed that CaCO3 in some way acts as a favorable stimulus for growth, the influence being marked for at least 2 yrs. after transference to a non-calcareous soil. Phenological and meteorological data are given. Much of the information is given in the form of statistical conclusions and the results are summarized with tentative conclusions.
