“…Other studies have shown ground flora communities in plantation forests to vary along geographic gradients such as climate (Roo-Zielinska and Solon, 1997;Corney et al, 2006) and isolation from native woodlands (Grashof-Bokdam and Geertsema, 1998), and along edaphic gradients such as soil moisture (Härdtle et al, 2003;Coroi et al, 2004) and nutrient supply (Pigott and Taylor, 1964;De Keersmaeker et al, 2004). Therefore, the potential for biodiversity enhancement through modifying silvicultural practices needs to be understood in the context of site environment.…”

“…The different geology and soil properties, long-term development of vegetation, land-use history and the biogeographical position resulted in a mosaic of plant species and forest communities (e.g. Roo-Zielinska and Solon 1997;Aude and Lawesson 1998;Kolb and Diekmann 2004;Dambrine et al 2007). Environmental and geographical gradients are therefore the main drivers of variation in floristic composition of temperate deciduous forests.…”

Vegetation of deciduous forests in the Štiavnické vrchy Mts (Central Slovakia) was studied using the standard Zürich-Montpellier approach. The numerical classification and ordination technique were applied to determine the main forest vegetation types and to find the responsible environmental drivers related to their distribution patterns, respectively. The data set including 198 relevés collected by authors in 1997-2009 and 185 relevés excerpted from literature was used to analysis. Numerical classification resulted in delimitation of fourteen vegetation types representing eleven associations with two variants and two communities within the Quercetea roboripetraeae and Querco-Fagetea classes. The major environmental gradients in variation of forest species composition were associated with moisture and nutrient content following the average Ellenberg indicator values. Along the moisture gradient, vegetation types were ordered from subxerophilous oak forests turn mesophilous mixed oak-hornbeam, beech and ravine forests to hygrophilous riparian alder forest. The results confirmed important role of soil nutrients and moisture by determination of forest vegetation in subcontinental part of Central Europe. Special attention was given to the discussion of floristical characteristics, site conditions and syntaxonomy.

“…Studies conducted in these phytocoenoses are mainly focused on directional transformations resulting from broadleaved forest regeneration. Except for secondary Scots pine communities in fertile sites, Scots pine forests of Central Europe are diversified in terms of the geographical locality connected with the influence of oceanic or continental climate (Roo-Zielińska, Solon 1997;Matuszkiewicz 2001). Furthermore, they are often intensively managed, with clear-cutting, site preparation, artificial re-planting and inten-sive thinnings.…”

Scots pine monocultures are very common forests in Central Europe. Some of them are introduced in fertile sites and constitute secondary communities for broadleaved or mixed forests (Zerbe 2002;Węgiel et al. 2009). Studies conducted in these phytocoenoses are mainly focused on directional transformations resulting from broadleaved forest regeneration. Except for secondary Scots pine communities in fertile sites, Scots pine forests of Central Europe are diversified in terms of the geographical locality connected with the influence of oceanic or continental climate (Roo-Zielińska, Solon 1997;Matuszkiewicz 2001). Furthermore, they are often intensively managed, with clear-cutting, site preparation, artificial re-planting and inten-sive thinnings. It has been recently suggested that Scots pine communities on mineral, oligotrophic sites undergo both directional transformations (Matuszkiewicz et al. 2007) as well as short-and long-term fluctuations (Solon 2010a,b). However, the general model of changes resulting from cyclical management practices is still unclear. There are few papers related to vegetation or species associated with developmental stages of managed stands
