Vegetation succession in basalt quarries: Pattern on a landscape scale.

Original language description

A spatio-temporal variation of vegetation during spontaneous succession was studied in 56 basalt quarries spread over 1800 km2 in the České středohoří Hills (NW Czech Republic, Central Europe). Differences in the particular habitats inside a quarry, i.e.steep rocky slopes; bottoms and levels; dumps; and screes were considered. The habitats ranged in age from 1 to 78 years since abandonment. Macroclimate (mean annual temperature and precipitation) over the area significantly influenced the course of succession, which led to a formation of shrubby grassland, shrubby woodland or tall woodland. Participation of target species typical of steppe-like communities significantly depended on the occurrence of the communities in the vicinity, up to a distance of30 m from a quarry. Disused quarries may become refugia for rare plant species. Spontaneous successional processes led in the reasonable time of ca. 20 years to seminatural vegetation. Thus, they can be successfully exploited in restorat
