Description
Soil moisture in the upper layer is one of the fundamental factors favouring successful grass seeding. In our country, especially difficult conditions of germination and growth of seedlings can be observed on muck-peat soils, particularly on those of degraded, easily drying muck (Kowalczyk and Okruszko, 1973). Studies ofRoguska-Wasilewska (1960) point out that the grass ventilation system is not the same in all the species, which differentiates their resistance to soil overdrying. The aim of the studies was to determine the effect of muckpeat soil moisture in its upper layer on some morphological features of seedlings of some grass species and to isolate species less susceptible to soil overdrying.
