The Impact of Adjacent Road on Vascular Plant Species Composition in Herbaceous Layers of Peucedano-Pinetum and Tilio-Carpinetum Urban Forests in the City of Warsaw (Poland)
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- The adjacent road has a significant and specific impact on plant species composition in the herbaceous layer of urban forests.
- The share of plant species inconsistent with the forest habitat decreases with the distance to the adjacent road, while the plant species composition stabilizes in the forest interior.
- The specificity of changes in plant species composition caused by adjacent roads depends on the fertility of the forest habitat.
