[Taxacom] adaptation of plants to mowing

[Frederick W. Schueler]

Taxacomers,

I'm writing an article for our local newspaper about the way low-growing 
patches of Lotus corniculatus, Bird's-foot Trefoil, are spreading across 
lawns in eastern Ontario. I've asked a botanists group, and have googled 
around, but can't find any published research on this.

Does anyone know of work done on plant species (other than Dandelions) 
evolving low growth forms adapted to life on lawns?

fred.
