“…In its natural range, the common milkweed occurs on prairies, roadsides of traffic routes, in cereal crops, meadows, grazing lands, forest areas, alluvia of rivers, and even swamps (Browmik & Bandeen 1976;Baskin & Baskin 1977;Hartzler & Buhler 2000). According to Browmik and Bandeen (1976), the species prefers soils with neutral and slightly alkaline reaction, but it occurs also on soils with low pH.…”

Abstract. The paper presents the location and general description of habitats and plant communities with common milkweed occurring within the city limits of Toruń. The data set comprised new localities of this species as well as those where Asclepias syriaca has been observed for several years but the sites have not been described in the ecological literature. Relevés made at these sites were compared with those described by Puchałka et al. (2013) from three sites of Asclepias syriaca in Toruń. A larger set of new sites included in the analysis allows for a more accurate description of the impact exerted by some ecological factors, e.g. afforestation, on the growth of the studied species. As evidenced by the new sites of Asclepias syriaca found recently in Toruń and the surrounding area, it is necessary to monitor the dynamics of the population and to undertake the research on the impact of common milkweed on plant communities.

In recent years, Asclepias syriaca, a invasive neophyte, has spread aggressively in intensively farmed agricultural landscape in the Central Slovakia. In 2011, it had colonized the area of 100 654 m 2 in abandonment vineyards and permanent grasslands in the district of Veľký Krtíš (South Slovakia). We found the infiltration of these plants into the stands of Triticum aestivum and Helianthus annuus. No management measures were taken. In contrast, the second studied invasive plant Fallopia japonica had occupied area lower by 93 % (7276 m 2 ), but spread across higher number of sites (19) on the banks of the brooks and along the roads. Regulated populations accounted for only 11% of the total area occupied by F. japonica. Low correlation dependence was found between the size of the area and population density of A. syriaca (r = 0.50) and F. japonica (r = 0.56). . Šírenie druhu sme zaznamenali pozdĺž cestných komunikácií (59,8 %) a pozdĺž obidvoch brehov potoka Krtíš (40,2 %). Regulované populácie tvorili iba 11 % z celkovej plochy obsadenej pohánkovcom japonským. Nízka korelačná závislosť bola zistená medzi plochou a hustotou jedincov A. syriaca (r = 0,50) a F. japonica (r = 0,56). Predpokladáme ďalšie šírenie obidvoch druhov neofytov, najmä prenikanie glejovky americkej do poľných kultúr. Keywords

Interest in the population dynamics and geographic distribution of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.) has recently increased due to the importance of common milkweed in the life cycle of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). A survey of common milkweed occurrence in various habitats was conducted in Iowa in June and July of 1999. Common milkweed was found in 71% of the roadsides and approximately 50% of the corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) fields. Corn and soybean fields had 85% fewer patches than roadsides. Conservation reserve program fields had the greatest average area infested. While common milkweed was frequently found in corn and soybean fields, average frequency and patch sizes were much greater in noncrop areas.
