Sedlové rašelinisko na Kubínskej holi: horúce miesto špecifickej druhovej diverzity
A mire at col of Mt. Kubínska Hoľa: hotspot of a specific plant species diversity
s. 27–33
Abstract: Data on species of mires of Mt. Kubínska Hoľa (northern Slovakia) are available since the 19th century,
either as floristic entries or detailed studies. Our recent field research did not confirm presence of Andromeda polifolia, Calluna vulgaris and problematic data
on occurrence of Carex elata and Scheuchzeria palustris as well. We recorded some unknown species from this area: Viola palustris, Juncus alpino-articulatus,
Agrostis canina, Carex davalliana, Epilobium palustre, Carex tumidicarpca, Viola biflora, Comarum palustre.
Also vertical maximum of the occurence of Naumburgia thyrsiflora in Slovakia was found.
Keywords: mire vegetation, Naumburgia thyrsiflora, Oravská Magura Mts.
Spoločenstvá Scirpetum sylvatici a Epilobio palustri- Juncetum effusi na Borskej nížine
Communities Scirpetum sylvatici and Epilobio palustri-Juncetum effusi in the Borská nížina Lowland
s. 35–39
Abstract: Abstract: Relevés of the associations Scirpetum sylvatici and Epilobio palustri-Juncetum effusi were recorded in 1999 and 2000.
The communities occur on alluviums of brooks and in deeper terrain depressions of wet meadows in the studied area.
At present the existing sites of the communities are endangered especially by draining of localities and absence of mowing .
Keywords: West Slovakia, wet meadows, vulnerable communities.
Makrofytná vegetácia vodných nádrží Nízkych Tatier (Slovensko)
Macrophyte vegetation of the water reservoirs in the Nízke Tatry Mts (Slovakia)
s. 41–51
Abstract: We studied the macrophyte species and their communities as well as ecology of 23 water reservoirs in the Nízke Tatry Mts and adjacent parts of basins and mountains in July 2008.
Forty taxa, one group (Algae filamentosae) and fourteen aquatic and marsh plant communities (from the Potametea and the Phragmito-Magnocaricetea classes) were detected.
We recognised some ecological (e.g. water temperature and conductivity) and vegetation (e.g. number of macrophyte species) differences between water reservoirs in the southern
and the northern parts of study area.
Keywords: aquatic and marsh plant communities, ecology, phytosociology, species diversity.
Phytocoenological and ecological changes in the association Poo chaixii-Fagetum Šomšák 1979 in the Slovenské rudohorie Mts (the Volovské vrchy Mts)
s. 53–62
Abstract: This paper evaluates phytocoenological and ecological changes in the association Poo chaixii-Fagetum Šomšák 1979 in the Slovenské rudohorie Mts.
Based on the comparison of the older phytosociological relevés of Šomšák with the recent ones of Hrubá it was evident that
biodiversity in the association decreased, acidophilous and oligothropic species dominate in the changed specific spectrum.
According to DCA analysis, the effect of soil acidity and content of soil nitrogen are the most important factors for differentiation of used sets of relevés.
Keywords: ecology, Poo chaixii-Fagetum, syntaxonomy.
Spoločenstvá zväzu Petasition officinalis v Krivánskej Malej Fatre
Communities of the alliance Petasition officinalis in the Krivánska Malá Fatra Mts
s. 63–75
Abstract: The article brings the evaluation of phytocoenological data from the mountain tall herb communities of the alliance Petasition officinalis
in the Krivánska Malá Fatra Mts (West Carpathians). Based on 37 relevés three communities were distinguished: 1. Agropyro caninae-Petasitetum kablikiani pulmonarietosum obscurae (var. typicum and var. with Chaerophyllum aromaticum),
2. Chrysosplenio alternifolii-Petasitetum hybridi (var. with Anthriscus nitidus and var. with Anthriscus sylvestris), 3. Aconito firmi-Rumicetum alpini. Floristic
composition, structure of stands, habitats and distribution of communities in studied region are characterised.
Keywords: mountain riparian vegetation, Petasites hybridus, Petasites kablikianus, Rumex alpinus, syntaxonomy, West Carpathians.
Stepní flóra a vegetace zemních valů hradiska v obci Bíňa (okr. Nové Zámky)
The steppe flora and vegetation of the loess bulwarks in the Bíňa village (district Nové Zámky, SW Slovakia)
s. 77–85
Abstract: According to the historians the fortified settlement in Bíňa village was built during the years 997–998. The defensive bulwarks 2200 m long havebeen preserved until the present-day. In our study we compare the present floristic and vegetation composition with those published by K. Domin in the first half of the 20th century. The vegetation of the loess bulwarks has kept the character of the pannonic loess steppic grasslands until the present (the alliance Festucion valesiacae). There are species rich associations (182 taxa of vascular plants), particularly Festuco valesiacae-Stipetum capillatae Sillinger 1930 with diagnostic and dominant species Stipa capillata, Festuca rupicola, Potentilla arenaria, Koeleria macrantha, Acosta rhenanaetc. Some of them (e. g. Agropyron pectinatum, Allium rotundum, Bromus arvensis, Nigella arvensis, Taraxacum sero-tinum, Tithymalus glareosussubsp. pannonicus) belong in Slovakia to the endangered and protected vascular plant species. The bulwarks have become the refugium of the steppe vegetation in the surrounding agricultural landscape. In the past, the main type of management of the study site were grazing of goats and sheep and the burning and cutting of grass as well. Recently the invasive and expansive species, such as Robinia pseudoacacia, Ailanthus altissima, Sambucus ebulusspread there.
Keywords: Bíňa defensive bulwark, steppe flora and vegetation, Slovakia.
O kontinentalite na Slovensku a v geobotanike
On continentality in Slovakia and within geobotany
s. 87–109
Abstract: Continentality as a factor determining the distribution of flora and vegetation is used often within geobotany. Continentality is frequently used also in Slovakia – its
effects are applied in interpretation of differences in forest vegetation of some regions (e. g. the Popradská kotlina Basin, southern slopes of the Vysoké Tatry Mts)
in comparison to other regions (i. e. absence of Fagus sylvatica, distribution of Pinus cembra etc.). But continentality is much more complex and its using
at small scale areas with various mesoclimatic conditions is inappropriate as continentality works on “continental” scale.
More suitable is to draw attention to climatic features with impact on vegetation in regional and local scale (within mesoclimate),
and with stress on vegetation period. In addition, also recent field research did not confirm some older opinions on natural beechless areas induced by “continentality”.
Keywords: beechless area, climate, continentality, forest vegetation, Popradská kotlina Basin, Tatry Mountains.
Terminologická poznámka: zdomácnenie a udomácnenie
Terminological notes on the Slovak terms for „domestication“ and “naturalization”
s. 111–115
Abstract: The report discusses Slovak and Czech terms for domestication and naturalization in scientific botanical and ecological literature.
The author suggests to distinguish between two Slovak terms: the term „zdomácnenie“ for domestication of wild by artificial
selection and the term „udomácnenie“ for naturalization of introduced (alien) plant species in a new territory.
Keywords: aliens, changes in new environment, cultivated plants, terminology, wild plants and animals.
Vegetačná databáza – možnosti a využitie
Vegetation database – facilities and utilities, 122-125
Abstract: The paper discusses the facilities and utilities of the database program Turboveg for Windows, a software package for the input, storage and handling of vegetation
and floristic data. The authors point out the possibilities of Turboveg not only in phytosociology, but also in ecology, taxonomy and in nature conservation,
mainly for inventory research, red list set-ups etc. The possibility to fill in a biotope type (where the relevé or a taxon was sampled) for input phytosociological
relevés opens up the program usage (and hence the data stored in it) also for general public, particularly for nature conservation institutions.
Keywords: Databases, ecology, habitats, plant communities, relevés, Turboveg.
