“…Most of the alien plants found in Banja Luka area from the Americas. Similar results were obtained for the alien plants of Podgorica (Stešević et al, 2014), Mostar (Maslo, 2015) and Sarajevo (Sarajlić & Nejc, 2017). It is interesting to note that the largest numbers of plants of American and Asian origin in cities belong to the neophyte group, while archaeophytes originate primarily from Europe and the Middle East and the Mediterranean (Pyšek et al, 2002).…”

“…During this research, we noted that the families with the highest number of taxa are Compositae and Poaceae. Similar results were obtained by research on the urban flora of Sarajevo (Sarajlić & Nejc, 2017), Mostar (Maslo, 2015), Sisak (Pruša et al, 2013), and Zagreb (Hudina et al, 2012) probably due to the high rate of reproduction and specialized structures of the fruits that allow for easier dispersal (Pyšek, 1997).…”

“…Floristic urban habitat research in the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina is modest. Comprehensive analyses exist only for Mostar (Maslo, 2014) and Sarajevo (Tomović-Hadžiavdić & Šoljan 2006). The situation with the flora and vegetation research in Banja Luka is similar.…”

“…When it comes to exploring alien plant species in urban areas, the situation is very similar. Alien flora surveys were conducted on the territory of Mostar (Maslo, 2015) and Sarajevo (Sarajlić & Jogan, 2017).…”

In the urban area of Banja Luka, 77 species of alien plants have been found, most of them neophytes (64.94%) while a smaller percentage are archeophytes (35.06%). Most of the plants originate from America (34), and Asiatic species rank second (17). Most of the alien plants belong to the Compositae family, in terms of life form are therophytes, and intention has been involved in their arrival in this area.The anthropogenic change indicator values have been shown to have a significant anthropogenic impact on the overall flora.

Many species from the family Orchidaceae spread in anthropogenic habitats and numerous studies documenting this process are known. Unfortunately, such data are scattered throughout various papers and reports, sometimes fragmentary and hard to reach (the 'grey literature'). Scientific elaboration on this topic still lacks a comprehensive review and summary of the scale of this phenomenon. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to gather, review and analyse such data, seeking the answer to the question whether the man-made habitats can be considered as refugee for orchids. The paper summarises data on the occurrence of orchid species in man-made habitats in Europe originating from published and unpublished sources. The particular emphasis was placed in urban habitats. For this purpose, the floristically data from 42 European cities were used. The conducted studies showed that the apohytism phenomenon in the family Orchidaceae was more widespread than had been previously reported. As a result, 70 species of orchids in the distinguished man-made habitats were found. The majority of the species grow on sand and clay pits. The most common species were Epipactis helleborine and Dactylorhiza majalis. The gathered data have confirmed that man-made habitats become refugee for many orchid species in the aftermath of the loss of their natural habitats. Thus, protection of sites transformed by man with orchid occurrence should be taken into consideration. These sites can become a source of very useful information for biogeographically and phylo-geographically analyses of many valuable and endangered species.

Urbanization is one of the major causes of species loss and the homogenization of the world's flora. Our coarse-scale floristic mapping project of the largest south Transdanubian city, Pécs, is the first grid-based urban study in Hungary that reveals the current pattern of the vascular flora. Beyond the general description of the project, the species richness, the number of native, archaeophyte, neophyte and legally protected taxa are presented in the scale of the grid units (2.2 km2) and according to the residential area of the city. Relationships between the number and proportion of natives, archaeophytes, neophytes, protected species versus the proportion of built-up areas, forest coverage and elevation are estimated by linear regression models. Among the 1458 spontaneous or subspontaneous vascular plant species of the study area 131 are legally protected. The average number of species per grid unit is 338. Regression models show that the number of aliens decreases with forest coverage and increases with the rate of built-up areas, while number of natives shows opposite trends as a function of the same variables. These opposite trends lead to the conclusion that in the case of the vascular flora of Pécs the “poor get richer” theory is supported. Among the most frequent species hemicryptophytes, widespread, native and zoochorous plants are dominant. The most widespread four invasive taxa are native to North America.
