- Observation Virginal ramets form the main population maximum and middle aged or old generative ramets a second one.
- Association Virginal ramet share and population density rise with anthropogenic pressure.
- Observation At stage III grazing thermopsis becomes a codominant in the herb layer.
- Observation Thermopsis density rises from 24.8 to 131.2 ramets per m2 in stage III communities.
- Observation Generative shoots reach maximum morphology, power and productivity.
- Association Continuous grazing to stage IV rapidly ages plants and accumulates old ramets.
- Observation The second ontogenetic maximum shifts to postgenerative ramets.
- Association Trampling and compaction lower population density to 6.5–4.6 ramets per m2.
