Abstract

The authors investigated the floristic composition and feed composition of cattle on abandoned field in southwestern Japan and attempted to explain the transition of floristic composition from the grazing selectivity of cattle. The dominant species on the abandoned field were kudzu Pueraria lobata Ohwi and tall goldenrod Solidago altissima L. on the experimental site. Kudzu was graze positively and the coverage decreases. On the other hand tall goldenrod was grazed negatively and the coverage increased after one year. It was clear that grazing cattle affected the floristic composition of abandoned field.
