Abstract
The application of fertilisers to sparse vegetation on unstable ultrabasic soil on a ridge of extreme exposure on the Isle of Rhum, Inner Hebrides, resulted in a marked increase of vegetation cover and a change in species composition. On this site, nutrient deficiency appears to be a major factor limiting the development of closed plant communities.Keywords
