Abstract
ON many grasslands and pastures along the south coast of the Baltic Sea hassock has been playing an increasingly important part in recent years. Areas with excess humidity of soil are sometimes heavily infested. Lack of manpower has led to a decreasing care of the drainage system. Moreover, the reduction in the number of horses, which formerly kept hassock short, has favoured the spread of this grassland weed.
