Abstract
Present work concerns the botanical characteristics and comparison of pine forest communities developed on former farmland or in ancient forest. Floristic investigations were carried on in a broader research focused on the structure and properties of pine stem wood. Floristic data were collected in the pine stands from which trees were selected and wood samples taken for anatomical and physical investigations. The aim of the study is to describe the flora on former farmlands and in ancient forests within two types of habitat representing different trophy vairaints: the fresh coniferous forests and the fresh mixed coniferous forest. All four plots differ in terms of the characteristics of local flora. Plots located in the fresh mixed coniferous forest habitat are richer in species than those in the fresh coniferous forest habitat. Within both habitats those located on former farmland are slightly richer in species. Number of anthropophytes and apophytes is higher on former farmland than in the ancient forest, while the number of ancient forest species is lower on former farmland of both trophy variants.
