The database is managed by the Mire Ecology Working Group (Department of Botany and Zoology, Masaryk University, Brno). In May 2015 this database was comprised of 10,147 releves of the classes Scheuchzerio palustris-Caricetea nigrae and Oxycocco-Sphagnetea published in various monographs, manuscripts or journals, but not stored in any other national or regional electronic vegetation databases. Only releves where bryophytes were identified as well as vascular plants were computerized. Most of the newly digitized data are from Northern and Southeastern European regions. Geographical coordinates are available for individual vegetation plots, their accuracy depends on the precision of the location description given. The European Mire Vegetation Database has been integrated in the European Vegetation Archive as a repository of mire vegetation not included in other national or regional databases.","PeriodicalId":54607,"journal":{"name":"Phytocoenologia","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1127/phyto/2015/0054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63695587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Great East Japan Earthquake including great tsunami that followed claimed the lives of about 20,000 people, though we made best possible prediction and preparation for natural disasters with full use of the newest science and technologies. Tide prevention forests of pine trees alone did not serve the purpose, but not a tree from the local potential natural vegetation fell in the earthquake and the tsunami. In order to survive in such fl at areas, it is essential to build high coastal levees with native forests of indigenous tree species. Most of the debris from disaster areas is ecologically an earth resource. After removing poisonous materials, debris should be utilized to make well aerated mounds along the 300km-long coasts of disaster areas. Saplings of native tree species with fully developed root systems are planted mixed and densely on the mounds. They will grow to form tsunami-preventing native forests a “Great Wall of Forests”. This afforestation on embankments should spread as a government project and a national movement.","PeriodicalId":54607,"journal":{"name":"Phytocoenologia","volume":"44 1","pages":"235-244"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1127/0340-269X/2014/0044-0571","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63853426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We searched for congruent characteristics in the floristic/faunistic structure of plant and bee species, and for differences between two study years. We also asked which vegetation type or complex plays the most important role as a pollen or nectar resource for wild bees, and what conclusions can be drawn for nature conservation. The vegetation types or complexes range from basiphytic pioneer stages to consolidated basiphytic to slightly acidophytic grasslands (classes Koelerio-Corynephoretea and Festuco-Brom- etea): Koelerion glaucae complex (1), Armerio-Festucetum trachyphyllae (2a, typical; 2b, ruderalized), ruderalized ex-arable field (3), and Allio-Stipetum capillatae (4). We used a plot-based approach for recording vegetation data and flower-visiting wild bees. Releves were sampled and flower- visiting bees netted on defined flower resources (2004, 2005). Data were analyzed by ordination, mixed linear models and regres- sion analysis. Phytosociological table and DCA show clear floristic differentiations between the vegetation types and complexes. For the bee data there were weaker species-based differentiations. In the year 2004 there were two bee assemblages, in the year 2005 this dif- ferentiation was not detectable. The most species- and individual-rich wild-bee populations were detected in the vegetation types 2b, 3 and 4. These types were characterized by a high diversity of entomophilous plant species in combination with high flower density. Although ruderalized sandy grasslands have only moderate conservation value based on vegetation characteristics, they offer remarkable resources for species-rich populations of wild bees. Important flower resources for endangered wild-bee species are, among others, Centaurea stoebe s.l., Berteroa incana and Carduus nutans. The diversity characteristics of the studied vegetation types or complexes do not always correspond to those of the flower-visit- ing bees, which should be taken into account in developing conservation strategies.","PeriodicalId":54607,"journal":{"name":"Phytocoenologia","volume":"44 1","pages":"175-192"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1127/0340-269X/2014/0044-0587","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63854441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present synthesis was based on analysis of 918 recent and historical phytosociological relevés originating from the Slovak Vegetation Database and available unpublished sources. Three floristically and ecologically interpretable associations of the Euro-Siberian alder carr forests of Alnion glutinosae (Thelypterido palustris-Alnetum glutinosae Klika 1940, Carici elongatae-Alnetum glutinosae Tüxen 1931, Carici acutiformis-Alnetum glutinosae Scamoni 1935) and seven of the European ash-alder riparian forests of Alnenion glutinoso-incanae (Carici remotae-Fraxinetum excelsioris Koch ex Faber 1936, Stellario nemorum-Alnetum glutinoase Lohmeyer 1957, Pruno padiFraxinetum excelsioris Oberdorfer 1953, Matteuccio struthiopteridis-Alnetum glutinosae Magic et Kliment in Kliment et Watzka 2000, Cardamino amarae-Alnetum incanae Šomšák 1961, Piceo abietis-Alnetum glutinosae Mráz 1959, Alnetum incanae Lüdi 1921) have been identified using unsupervised numerical classification. Each association was characterized by list of synonyms, diagnostic, constant and dominant species, overall floristic description, site requirements and chorological aspect. Main environmental gradients responsible for vegetation changes were determined in detrended correspondence analysis and interpreted using the Ellenberg indicator values (EIV) and altitude. Variation in species composition pattern corresponded to the altitudinal gradient and EIV for moisture, nutrients and soil reaction.","PeriodicalId":54607,"journal":{"name":"Phytocoenologia","volume":"15 1","pages":"283-308"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1127/0340-269X/2014/0044-0588","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63854448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
