Mean per-species relative fruit production (proportion of inflorescences developing to mature fruit stage) of 27 plant species of grasses (open circles) and herbs/sedges (filled circles) in two grazing regimes, late onset of grazing (grazing from mid-July to early October), and continuous stocking (grazing from mid-May to early October), in a semi-natural grassland at Harpsund, see text for explanations.
