“…and Fagus sylvatica s. str. of Europe were more competitive in this region than their eastern subspecies/species Q. iberica and F. orientalis (Gömöry et al 2021). Genera that became extirpated in Europe and western Eurasia, despite their North American and East Asian congeners being highly cold-tolerant, such as Tsuga, possibly were outcompeted by other conifers that speciated during the Pliocene and Pleistocene (e.g., Abies; Hrivnák et al 2017), or by woody angiosperms that had gone through environmental bottlenecks and occupied similar ecological niches.…”

The late Early Pleistocene was the last time of equable climate in northern Central Italy, reflected in its large mammal fauna and numerous palynological records. Reliably dated leaf fossils from this time are rare, but provide crucial information on local and regional vegetation, biogeographic relationships, and species turnover coinciding with the assembly of modern forest biomes. Here we investigated a rich assemblage of leaf and fruit impressions (63 fossil-taxa) from the Oriolo quarry, Faenza (Ravenna), dated to the latest Calabrian, preserved in transgressive coastal deposits. The fossil assemblage represents riparian vegetation and xeric alluvial habitats in the lowlands and forest vegetation above the alluvial plain. Forest-building trees were deciduous, but comprised several taxa characteristic of open scrubland or forest edges. The composition of the flora reflects a dynamic process of assembling modern forest biomes in western Eurasia. While most taxa correspond to modern submediterranean and temperate woody species, some others represent late occurrences of taxa today confined to refugia outside Italy (Parrotia, Gleditsia, Pterocarya), and a few are Miocene/Pliocene relics indicating final floristic links with East Asia (Japan) and/or North America (Tsuga cf. chiarugii, Carya cf. minor) and Pleistocene endemism in Italy (Berberis auriolensis, Acer aemilianum).

“…Relatively soon after their discovery, they began to be used in former Czechoslovakia, namely in the eighties (Kormuťák 1981;Kormuťák et al 1982). One of the presented papers summarizes the development of population genetics and population genomics studies of forest trees in Slovakia during the past 40 years (Gömöry et al 2021). To address several topics in evolutionary genetics and biogeography of trees, various protein and DNA markers have been applied during this period: allozymes uniparentally inherited chloroplast and mitochondrial markers, simple sequence repeats and single nucleotide polymorphisms.…”

“…Adaptations were studied both in field observations and common-garden experiments on Picea abies, F. sylvatica and A. alba (Longauer et al 2001;Gömöry et al 2015). Within this contribution, next-generation sequencing perspectives of ongoing research were shortly outlined, too (Gömöry et al 2021).…”

Here, we present a brief introduction to sixteen full-text research articles of the Special Issue "Progress in Slovak Botany: a successful path to modern research on flora and vegetation" which are more-less a reflection of the current state of the study of botany in Slovakia. The papers bring results of classification and syntaxonomical revision of shrubs and forest vegetation, followed by research into vegetation diversity, ecology, and taxonomy. Special attention is paid to molecular methods in the research of plant taxa; one of the contributions evaluates the use of these methods in the study of population genetics of forest trees in Slovakia in the past 40 years. The other three papers use the knowledge of flow cytometry for a taxonomic study of selected representatives of the genera Tanacetum, Cotoneaster, Solanum and Nicotiana. A special issue also includes a new version of the checklist and a red list of hornworts and liverworts which updates data published 20 years ago. The checklist is followed by a paper on new localities and phylogenetic relationships of Leucoglossum leucosporum, a geoglossoid fungus whose occurrence is poorly known. The last two contributions are devoted to the impact of the environmental burdens on biota.
