Floristic diversity and sward use value of Lolio-Cynosuretum association in the San river valley

Abstract

In the present paper the floristic composition, species richness and sward use value of five subassociations distinguished within the Lolio-Cynosuretum association (typicum, trifolieto-sum repentis, festucetosum pratense, dactylidosum glomeratae and anthoxanthosum odoratae) are studied depending on the selected ecological factors. Phytosociological releves, samples of soil and samples of sward were taken for analysis. Floristic diversity and use value of the Lolio-Cynosuretum pasture sward depended on habitat conditions, fertilizing and use intensity.
