Biomass of A, B forbs and C, D grasses of monoliths from the meadow and the abandoned grassland under ambient conditions (open symbols) and drought conditions (closed symbols), sampled at the end of the drought treatment (1 July) and during recovery (24 July, 22 August). Error bars indicate standard errors of the mean (n = 3 in July and n = 4 in August), asterisks indicate significant treatment effects within land use and sampling date (p value: *** < 0.001 < ** < 0.01).
