Communities with constant presence of two insular endemic species of genus Brassica (B. cazzae Ginzb. et Teyber, B. mollis Vis.) were studied on the small southeastern Adriatic islands and islets (South Croatia), following the Braun-Blanquet approach. From a total of 51 phytosociological relevés, mostly collected in the period from 2020 and 2022, eight associations and three subassociations belonging to seven alliances and six classes were identified. Brassica cazzae and B. mollis occur in a variety of habitat types (i) in bare or very shallow soils on which halophilous and halotolerant communities of the Limonion anfracti-cancellati and Anthyllidion barbae-jovis mostly thrive, (ii) on rocky crevices and cliffs with rupicolous chasmophytic vegetation of the Centaureo cuspidatae-Portenschlagiellion ramosissimae, (iii) within woody vegetation of the Pistacio lentisci-Pinion halepensis, maquis of the Oleo-Ceratonion siliquae and garrigues of the Cisto cretici-Ericion manipuliflorae, and (iv) grasslands of the Chrysopogono grylli-Koelerion splendentis. Two associations (Plantagino holostei-Limonietum cazzae, Brassico mollis-Anthyllidetum barbae-jovis) and one subassociation (Centaureetum ragusinae limonietosum cazzae) are described for the first time.

“…Because sampling methods varied across these studies, detailed comparisons are difficult. Based on species composition, the vegetation of the walls in this study would fall into the Galio valantiae-Parietarion judaicae vegetation alliance (Jasprica et al 2020). 2) and the other codes designate plots on the walls.…”

“…A number of studies have assessed the plant communities that grow on walls (e.g. Brullo & Guarino 1998, Swierkosz 2004, 2012, Kolbek 1997, Kolbek et al 2015, Jasprica et al 2020. Wall phytosociological relevés tend to be heterogeneous with a large number of species and high species overlap (Duchoslav 2002, Kolbek et al 2015.…”

Vegetated walls are an important habitat for urban biodiversity. We conducted an analysis of the plant species that grow on the Elbasan, Albania fortress walls. Walls vary in age from 4th to 21st century, and in composition. On 71 walls we assessed 2787 plants of 35 species and recorded plant size, presence of flowers or fruits, height from the ground, crevice depth, wall aspect, wall age and composition, and distance to nearest opposing wall. Eleven species, two of which were ferns, composed 93.8% of the plants. The vast majority of plants flowered and fruited on the walls. Plant density ranged from 0.1–70 plants/m2. Species distributions varied significantly based on height on the wall, crevice depth, aspect and distance to the opposing wall. These differences may be influenced by dispersal mechanisms, moisture, substrate composition, and other important environmental factors. For example, Antirrhinum majus was generally found high on south facing walls in deep cracks whereas Umbilicus rupestris was found lower on north facing walls in shallower cracks. It is important that older walls colonized by plants be maintained such that a native flora can persist where natural rocky features are lacking.

“…2E). In this study, the flora on the vertical wall surfaces was not studied (see Jasprica et al, 2020), since we were interested in the lack of feet, i.e. the normal wear to which the ancient pavement stones of the Old City are subjected.…”
