The effect of the combined grazing and cutting management on the phytocenological characteristics was examined at the submountain paddock in Southern Bohemia. Botanical scans were sampled during five years (2006-2010) starting after sowing a pasture mixture on an arable field and 0-2 years a fter the beginning of the grazing (paddock A and paddock B, respectively). The paddock A was grazed all year round, whereas the paddock B was grazed in spring and autumn and cut in summer for hay. At both paddocks, Lolium perenne, Trifolium repens and Taraxacum sect. Ruderalia dominated the communities of 43 and 47 species (paddock A and B, respectively). Among the sowing species, Lolium perenne, Festuca pratensis, Poa pratensis, Festuca rubra and Trifolium repens increased its cover on both paddocks, while Phleum pratense increased its cover only at paddock B. Lolium multiflorum decreased its cover at both paddocks. Most of arable field weeds disappeared (paddock A) or decreased its cover (paddock B). The cover of herb layer was higher at paddock A than at paddock B, whereas the number of species, the diversity and the equitability was higher at paddock B than at paddock A. The cover of herb layer increased during the study at both paddocks, while the number of species declined at paddock A and increased at paddock B.
