FLORISTIC DIVERSITY OF THE Lolio-Cynosuretum R. Tx. 1937 ASSOCIATION AS AN INDICATOR OF HABITAT CONDITIONS
Journal Title: Acta Scientiarum Polonorum – Agricultura - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract. Changes in the floristic composition of meadows and pastures may provide information on the human impact on the habitat conditions and intensity of land use. The aim of the study was to present the floristic diversity of the Lolio-Cynosuretum association and its relation with the habitat conditions evaluated using the phytoindication method with Ellenberg indicators. The study was conducted in five river valleys in the years 1999-2012. For the analysis, 100 relevés were selected, which were subject to floristic, habitat (phytoindication), and statistical analysis. In the Lolio-Cynosuretum phytocoenoses, the total number of 178 taxa of vascular plants from 33 families was recorded. It was demonstrated that the differentiation in the floristic composition of Lolio-Cynosuretum phytocoenoses remains in relation with the habitat conditions, which may be evaluated basing on the ecological preferences of plant species that form the taxa. The species were established as differential for the lower units, that is four subassociations and eight variants.
