Název v původním jazyce

Homogenization and species compositional shifts in subalpine vegetation during the 60-year period

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Subalpine and alpine plant communities are considered highly sensitive and hence endangered by global changes. In central Europe, the highly sensitive habitats are also influenced by human activities: land use, industrial pollution, and tourism. That is especially true for subalpine plant communities formed on mid-latitude mountains during specific postglacial development. Our study aimed to (1) document changes in cover and plant species diversity between the past (1950s and 1970s) and present (2019), and (2) reveal differences in the functional composition of the species among the studied periods. In 2019, quasi-permanent marked plots originally surveyed in the 1950s and 1970s were resurveyed at Králický Sněžník (Śnieżnik Kłodski) Mountains, the High Sudetes Mts. We assessed temporal changes in plant species composition, species cover, functional groups, growth forms, and degree of specialization. We found homogenization of the vegetation over time and changes in the cover of specific functional groups that were attributed to environmental factors connected with the cessation of historical land use, atmospheric deposition, and climate change. Implementing a suitable combination of mowing and grazing to support diversity, and to prevent homogenization of vegetation is highly recommended.
