Trends in the succession of synanthropic vegetation on a reclaimed landfill in Poland

Original language description

The production and management of wastes clearly demonstrates a human influence on the environment. The most frequent method of handling waste worldwide is landfilling, which exerts a range of negative impacts on the environment. This study presents a twenty-year analysis into the vegetation of a closed municipal solid waste landfill in Poland. We assessed the composition of vegetation using the method of phytocoenological relevés. From monitoring 127 plant species, we created a floristic list of species found in the landfill. Detrended Correspondence Analysis enabled establishment of the covers of the plant species detected. Results indicated differences in the representation of native plant species and neophytes in the composition of vegetation. Landfill site environments differed from neighbouring ecosystems after twenty years, a high proportion of invasive neophytes have been identified on the landfill site. These differences suggest that the vegetation in the landfill has been changing, and the spectrum of plant species has been developing over time. Findings indicate that humans not only affect landscapes, but they directly create new ecosystems including geological-pedological layers. Landfills and the whole ecosystem of landfills therefore contain real and clear evidence of human influences on the surface layers of the lithosphere.
