Abstract
Presented paper concerns the characteristics of forest communities as a part of a broader research focused on the structure and properties of stem wood of pines from forests growing on former farmland or ancient forests sites. Phytosociological data were collected on plots in pine stands from which trees were selected and wood samples taken for anatomical and physical investigations. On the fresh coniferous forest habitat, the communities constitute the impoverished transitional form between the suboceanic fresh coniferous forest association Leucobryo-Pinetum and the continental fresh coniferous forest association Peucedano-Pinetum. The forms representing the two types of land use history are weakly diversified on this habitat. The fresh mixed coniferous forest habitat constitutes the continental mixed coniferous forest Querco roboris-Pinetum. The association shows differentiation into the typical form on the ancient forest plot and the impoverished form on former farmlands, differing mainly by a small number of ancient forest indicator species. Association is deformed also by the presence of few but significant antropophytes, including expansive neophytes.
