Abstract
⺠We examined effects of mowing cessation and hydrology on plant trait distribution. ⺠Most traits responded more strongly to mowing cessation than to hydrology. ⺠Traits related to light competition especially responded to mowing cessation. ⺠Light competition is a major factor determining trait distribution in fen systems.
