In this paper we consider classes of vector lattices over subfields of the real numbers. Among other properties we relate the archimedean condition of such a vector lattice to the uniqueness of scalar multiplication and the linearity of l-automorphisms. If a vector lattice in the classes considered admits an essential subgroup that is not a minimal prime, then it also admits a non-linear l-automorphism and more than one scalar multiplication. It is also shown that each l-group contains a largest archimedean convex l-subgroup which admits a unique scalar multiplication.
