“…Nevertheless, several recent reports indicate that this species can grow in more fertile habitats (Czarna, 2002;Tlałka, 2011) and even in anthropogenic forest monocultures (Kujawa et al, 2005;Gierczyk et al, 2007), which proves its high ecological plasticity. This is confirmed by the results of analyses conducted by Muller (1999), who investigated the relationship between the floristic composition and the occurrence of Botrychium lunaria and Botrychium matriciifolium in lowland areas of Central Europe. Both species are associated with acidic and oligomesotrophic grasslands with an intermediate floristic composition between the classes Nardo-Callunetea and Molinio-Arrhenatheretea.…”

“…In this respect, the newly discovered locality in south-eastern Poland should be regarded as moderately numerous, as in the localities of the species in other European countries. For example, the populations of the fern in France usually comprise from a few to several tens of individuals (Muller, 1993(Muller, , 1999. In turn, the southernmost localities in Europe are extremely small and strongly isolated.…”

“…In turn, rapid growth of shrubs (Sarothamnus scoparius and Pinus sylvestris), which causes disappearance of such less competitive species as Botrychium, is observed in abandoned lands. The best way to protect these relatively rare species is to maintain extensive (no fertilisation) farming based on late mowing and to introduce measures to restore the pioneering habitats of the species (Muller, 1999(Muller, , 2002.…”

“…However, this species was recorded much less frequently in Molinio-Arrhenatheretea meadows and pastures (Muller, 1993(Muller, , 1999Lengyel, 2009), oak-hornbeam forests (Czarna, 2002;Tlałka, 2011), and beech forests (Motyka, 1956). Interestingly, it can also be found in anthropogenic forest monocultures (Kujawa et al, 2005;Gierczyk et al, 2007).…”

Botrychium matricariifolium is a critically endangered species in Poland. In 2020, a new locality of this rare fern was found in the Góra Chełm forest reserve (Strzyżowskie Foothills). The population comprised 58 individuals. The fern was found in the Carpathian beech fertile complex Dentario glandulosae-Fagetum at a forest margin located near an unused quarry. The community comprised 29 vascular plant species. The dense layer of trees (90%) was composed of Acer pseudoplatanus, Abies alba, and Fagus sylvatica. The greatest coverage in the undergrowth was achieved by Dentaria glandulosa, Dentaria bulbifera, Galeobdolon luteum, and Mercurialis perennis. The mean height of the ferns was 14.9 cm. The trophophores had 3 branches each and were 1.1-3.4 cm long (mean: 2.1 cm). They had 5 to 9 pinnae. The length of the sporophore ranged from 2.3 to 8.3 cm (mean: 5.1 cm). It had from 12 to 183 sporangia (mean: 62). In 2021, the locality was re-verified, and 30 sporulating individuals were recorded. No factors threatening the species were noted. The population is in good condition and does not require any special active protection measures.

Habitat origins and microhabitat preferences of urban plant species

Urban vegetation is commonly described as dominated by weedy species that are adapted to human disturbance. In this study, we determined the original (pre-agriculture) habitats of urban plant species sampled quantitatively in the spontaneous vegetation of a university campus in Halifax, Nova Scotia (eastern Canada). We sampled 11 distinct patch types corresponding to different built forms. Differences in vegetation among patch types were related in part to environmental variables such as soil moisture and light availability. The urban vegetation was dominated by species from rocky habitats such as cliffs and talus slopes, with lesser representation from grassland and floodplain habitats. When compared to a null model of species origins based on the global area and species richness of different original habitats, species from rock outcrops and grassland habitats were overrepresented in the urban vegetation. These results contrast with the received view that cities represented highly "unnatural" ecosystems: built form appears to replicate the habitat templates required by rock outcrop species. Urban ecological theory should incorporate the replication of habitat analogs by built forms in addition to the creation of ecologically novel habitats.
