Abstract
During May, 2013, the
vegetation on city walls has been studied in five old royal mining
towns of Central Slovakia (Banská Belá, Banská Štiavnica, Kremnica, Nová
Baňa, and Pukanec). In the four last-named towns, phytocoenological
material was recorded according to the Braun-Blanquet method, providing
41 relevés. Analysis of data (Twinspan , DCA) grouped the relevés into
four clusters: ass. Cymbalarietum muralis, Corydalidetum luteae,
Asplenietum rutae-murarie-trichomanis, and the most hemerobic community
dominated by Chelidonium majus.
All communities are generally rather heterogeneous, with a large range
of number of species and with frequent participation of accessory
plants. In the observed localities, 22 epilithic mosses and 2 liverworts
were recorded: the most common species appears Encalypta streptocarpa,
Homalothecium sericeum, Tortula muralis, Hypnum cupressiforme,
Schistidium apocarpum agg., and Bryum caespiticium. © by Jiří Kolbek
