“…The cultural plants life is possible only in a certain temperature range, the upper and lower limits of which, so-called "critical temperatures" are given by the anatomical structure of the plant body and by the physiological processes in their organs. The temperature range over which the plants can develop and grow well varies and depends on the plant species and the areas in which they grow and from which they originate, as it was proven in the studies [Rendeková et al, 2019;Pozníková et al, 2018;Li et al, 2017]. Among the extremes, there is so-called "the optimum temperature band" that best meets the requirements of the plant organism at a given development stage.…”

The purpose of the paper was to show cognition from the theory of climate change. The map outputs of these changes offer the climate data from basic elements and characteristics of the energy balance in terms of the current state as well as the trends and assumptions of their future changes in Slovakia. For these agroclimatic analyses, 100 climatic stations in Slovakia spread out to cover all agricultural regions, up to 800 m above sea level, have been selected. Our analyses are related to the period of years 1961-2010, when measurements and observations were the most homogeneous. The future trends and map outputs of future climate change were determined with the mathematic-statistical methods to the 2035, 2050, 2075-and 2100-year horizons. This study presents the impact of the climate change on the temperature conditions in Slovakia. The temperature changes (average, maximum and minimum temperature) were analysed with forecasts up to year 2100. The forecasts for the 2100-year horizon indicate increasing of the average annual temperature on average by about 2.0°C, maximum temperature on average by about 2.0°C and minimum temperature on average by about 2.5-3°C in comparison to the present.

“…A comparable number was observed in, for example, the similarly sized city of Hradec Králové (the Czech Republic)—42 invasive neophytes [ 18 ]. However, in the much larger city of Bratislava (the capital of Slovakia), in ruderal areas alone, 26 invasive taxa were recorded [ 28 ]. Data collected by La Sorte et al [ 29 ] (Appendix S1) has shown that in other European capital cities even more invasive species have been found, e.g., Vienna (Austria)—141 (10.0% of city flora), Prague (Czech Republic)—138 (13.54%), Berlin (Germany)—121 (12.78%), Dublin (Ireland)—107 (19.7%), Rome (Italy)—213 (16.92%), Warsaw (Poland)—95 (17.96%).…”

Invasive alien species (IAS) is a global problem that largely relates to human activities and human settlements. To prevent the further spread of IAS, we first need to know their pattern of distribution, to determine which constitutes the greatest threat, and understand which habitats and migration pathways they prefer. Our research aimed to identify the main vectors and distribution pattern of IAS of plants in the city environment. We checked the relations between species distribution and such environmental factors as urban soil type and habitat type. We applied data on IAS occurrence (collected in the period 1973–2015) in 515 permanent plots with dimensions of 0.5 × 0.5 km and analyzed by direct ordination methods. In total, we recorded 66 IAS. We found a 27% variance in the IAS distribution pattern, which can be explained by statistically significant soil and habitat types. The most important for species distribution were: river and alluvial soils, forests and related rusty soils, and places of intensive human activities, including areas of urbisols and industriosols. Our results provide details that can inform local efforts for the management and control of invasive species, and they provide evidence of the different associations between natural patterns and human land use.

“…Moreover, the Asteraceae family is remarkably successful in terms of dispersal and establishment and is also the most abundant family of alien or invasive floras worldwide [52,53]. Species from this family are successful invaders not only in anthropogenic biotopes [54] but also in natural ones [55]. The family also hosts species most involved in pollenosis; one of which is Ambrosia artemisiifolia [56].…”

Weed vegetation of arable land in Slovakia: diversity and species composition

2019

Arable fields are among the most widespread habitats in Slovakia, but recently, there have been no studies regarding species composition and structure of weed vegetation in these fields. Therefore, we studied the structure of arable weed vegetation and detected α- and β-diversity. The dataset of 507 phytosociological relevés in different crop types contains 407 plant taxa in 46 plant families. Native plants dominated over aliens, archaeophytes dominated over neophytes, and 14 plants belonged to invasive taxa. The most common species in the dataset were Tripleurospermum perforatum, Cirsium arvense, and Viola arvensis. Weeds were mostly therophytes, b- and a-euhemerobic, competitors, and ruderals, reproducing by seeds and pollinated by insects. The β-diversity of weed vegetation decreased with elevation and temperature and was higher in the Pannonicum than the Carpaticum region. The highest β-diversity was established in fodder+fallow fields, followed by that in cereals and root-crop fields, and the smallest diversity was found in stubble. Beta-diversity increased from spring to summer and slightly decreased again in fall. Detrended correspondence analysis indicated that the major compositional turnover of weed vegetation was related to light, temperature, moisture, and elevation. Weed vegetation constitutes an important habitat in the landscape that provides refuge to many threatened plants, and this vegetation has important functions in the agro-ecosystem food chain.
