Vegetation changes in Prague?s suburban forest during the last 40 years ? human impact and legislative protection

Original language description

?Klánovický les? is a large suburban forest on the eastern fringe of Prague. It is formed by a mosaic of acidophilous oak forests and oak-hornbeam stands. Thanks to the high diversity of plant and animal species, a nature reserve was proclaimed here in 1982. Of all kinds of human impact (forestry practices, agriculture on adjacent areas), recreation activities are those most markedly influencing the forest communities. Because of the easy accessibility from central Prague and the rapid spread of suburbsin neighbouring areas, this forest is frequently used for free-time activities. The aim of this study was to describe vegetation trends in this forest. Species composition in 1961, 1988 and 2002 was compared on the basis of phytocoenological releves. Negative effects of recreation activities were manifested especially in - ecosystem ruderalization (visible as a spread of nitrophilous species), - trampling (and the higher percentage of trampling-tolerant species), - and the spread of par
