The abandoned railways turned out to be unexpected havens for plant diversity. While both railway sites and meadows had similar numbers of plant species, the railway plants were remarkably different in their characteristics and evolutionary history. Common meadow grasses like tall oat-grass grew alongside plants typically found at forest edges, such as dewberries and nettles. The researchers also found plants that thrive in disturbed ground, including evening primrose and wild mignonette.
