“…In the eastern part of Europe, the occurrences of G. perfoliata is well-documented in Poland (Bartoszek & Stachurska-Swakoń 2016), Slovakia (Jehlík 1998;Eliáš & Dítě 2012) and Belarus (Tretiyakov 1988;Dzhus 2016). Historical casual occurrences of the species from the Czech Republic were confirmed only recently (Kaplan et al 2017). It is also noteworthy, that even in countries where the species is considered native (e.g.…”

Gypsophila perfoliata (Caryophyllaceae) is a rare, only casually occurring species in Central Europe. Its native range spans from western Asian to the coast of the Black Sea. Several adventive occurrences of G. perfoliata were documented in Central Europe, especially in Germany where the naturalisation of the taxon occurred during the first decades of the 20th century. As a rare weed, it is suspected to have been introduced with iron ore from the former Soviet Union via railways (Kryvyi Rih region, now Ukraine). In this paper, we gathered information on the occurrence of G. perfoliata from its adventive range. These data indicate an ongoing and fast spread of the species across Central and Eastern Europe. For instance, prior to this study, G. perfoliata have two occurrence records from Hungary. Six new and recent records from Miskolc town and its surrounding areas are presented in this paper. The studied plant occurs in former industrial areas (steel factory, transshipment yards, external slag heaps) or along transport lines (esp. road verges, railway lines). We also describe 18 phytosociological relevés taken at the location of occurrences. All occurrences were documented on heavily modified anthroposols, where the populations flourish on bare ground (esp. road verges or parking areas) or on ground with admixture of metalliferous slag debris. With the help of available orthophotos the presumed land-use history of the locations has also been reconstructed. Based on data presented here we recommend modifying the species’ adventive status in Hungary from casual to naturalised. Further expansion of the species is expected not only 172 at industrial sites but also at locations where slag material was utilised (e.g. landfill, road and rail construction). Due to its halophyte characteristics the species might expand its range along roads where de-icing salt is used.

“…ese individuals came from Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mountains (Mt Kněhyně and Mt Smrk), Moravský kras (Olomučany), Jeseníky Mountains (Rýmařov, Mt Praděd, Velkákotlina), and Rychlebské hory (Lázně Jeseník) (Figure 1). Currently, P. setiferum has not been confirmed at these locations, and it is regarded as an extinct species in the Czech flora (Kaplan et al, 2017). e species occurs on moderately acidic, humid soil in beech and mixed forests in moderately high mountains with mild winters (Dostál & Reichstein, 1984).…”

“…Figure 1 Distribution of Polystichum setiferum at the northeastern limit of its range based on verified herbarium specimens (circles), literature data (triangles), and the present study (square). Historical records were based on Ekrt (2016) and updated from Kaplan et al (2017). Based on past and recent data, we undertook field surveys for P. setiferum in the Opawskie Mountains and in the western part of the Beskid Śląski mountain range (Silesian Beskid), areas close to the historical locations of the species in the Eastern Sudetes and the Western Carpathians, respectively.…”

During field studies in 2019 in the Beskid Śląski mountain range in southern Poland, one individual morphologically resembling Polystichum setiferum was found. Nuclear DNA content analysis confirmed the species identity. The new stand of P. setiferum corresponds to historical literature reports and herbarium specimens from the Czech Republic and Poland, and extends the northeastern limit of the distribution of this species. As the historical stands in both countries have not been confirmed, the newly discovered stand is at present strongly isolated, as the nearest extant locations of P. setiferum in Austria, southern Hungary, and western Romania are nearly 500 km away. Therefore, this unique stand deserves special attention and protection.

“…This species was registered in nutrientpoor and dry grasslands and heathlands in the Netherlands [4,22,26], as well as in the grasslands and shrublands of mountain environments [1][2][3]. It also grows in subalpine grasslands and dwarf-shrub vegetation, meadows on siliceous soils, wet meadows, montane pastures, marginal parts of spruce forests, and along roads in pine forests, as well as openings in coniferous forests and their edges [17,18,27,28]. In Western Europe, arnica arouses great interest as a research object.…”

Mountain arnica, Arnica montana L., an herbaceous plant species critically endangered in Europe, is the source of raw material, which is abundant in its secondary metabolites. During the field investigation conducted in Augustów and Knyszyn forests (Poland) and in Grodno Forest (Belarus), the plant species composition and population characteristics were measured. Additionally, to evaluate the edaphic conditions of arnica populations, soil samples were taken and analyzed. The sandy and very nutrient-poor soils are characterized by strong acidity and a very low concentration of macro- and microelements. The analyzed characteristics of the studied populations indicate a good status of populations located in Grodno Forest. However, the very small number of individuals and the very small proportion of flowering individuals in the populations in Augustów Forest and Knyszyn Forest indicate the need for active protective actions. Calamagrostis arundinacea can play the role of a competitor; therefore, during planning active protection, individuals of this species should be eliminated, and particular attention should be paid to the frequency and coverage of this plant species and the plant height of the herb layer. The dependence between population characteristics, especially the proportion of flowering stems and the concentration of available phosphorus, may indicate the effect of the concentration of this macroelement on flowering and, in consequence, provide a greater chance for the generative propagation of this plant species.
