New mutations for two association names of forest plant communities
We provide the formal correction of the name-giving taxon for two association names of forest plant communities according to Article 45 of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. The new muta...

Syntaxonomical revision of the order Fagetalia sylvaticae Pawłowski ex Pawłowski et al. 1928 in Slovakia
A complete syntaxonomical revision of beech, fir and mixed montane forest communities within the order Fagetalia sylvaticae was realised for the first time in Slovakia. We used all available phytosociological mat...

How do environmental variables shape plant species diversity and composition in beech forests of Central Slovakia?
European beech forests are an important component of natural vegetation in submontane and montane areas of Central Europe. Although floristic variability of their plant communities has been relatively well des...

Environmental thresholds and predictors of macrophyte species richness in aquatic habitats in central Europe
The degradation of habitats and species loss in freshwaters is far greater than in any other ecosystem. The decline in biodiversity has a strong potential to alter the functioning of the ecosystem and the serv...

The relationship between macrophyte assemblages and environmental variables in drainage and irrigation canals in Slovakia
Our study provides new knowledge about macrophyte assemblages and environmental variables of Slovak drainage and irrigation canals. The canal system, comprising ca. 15% of all flows in Slovakia, is one of the ...

Species Richness Pattern along Altitudinal Gradient in Central European Beech Forests
The unimodal species richness-altitude distribution pattern seems to be universal. To investigate the validity of this phenomenon in homogeneous substrate and vegetation conditions, we sampled beech-dominated ...

Environmental effects on species richness of macrophytes in Slovak streams
The effect of 19 environmental variables on species richness of macrophytes was studied in 39 Slovak streams. The studied streams were poor in species; in total, 88 macrophyte taxa were found and the average n...

Vegetation of the aquatic and marshland habitats in the Orava region, including the first records of Potametum alpini, Potametum zizii and Ranunculo-Juncetum bulbosi in the territory of Slovakia
The vegetation of the aquatic and marshland habitats of the Orava region (north of Slovakia) was studied in 2009, using traditional phytosociological methods. Sixteen aquatic and eighteen marsh plant communiti...
