In the first part, the textbook deals with the theoretical bases of elaboration and describing of vegetation in accordance with the Central European method, which enables students to understand the second part, where an overview of the forest vegetation of Slovenia is given. An overview of forest communities is based on a comprehensive database that enables the identification of diagnostic plant species based on calculation of fidelity to a particular vegetation type. The textbook is intended primarily for the students of the indicated course, and it is also useful for other courses, which deal with the research of vegetation and knowledge of forests.

In the research, we analysed functional plant traits of plant species growing on five forest gaps in the Dinaric fir-beech forest in Slovenia. The forest gaps were created as a result of natural disturbances. We selected 18 functional plant traits, whose values were obtained from the BiolFlor database. With the help of the JUICE program, we calculated the frequency of its occurrence on individual forest gap for each functional plant trait. Then we calculated Sperman's correlation coefficient at p<0.05, between the occurrence of individual functional plant traits and single forest gap. We found out that forest gaps are mainly colonized by perennials and herbaceous perennials and hamephytes. These are plant species that begin to flower in June and July, bloom for two or three months and are pollinated by insects, mainly hover flys and wild bees. Characteristic of ...

In this sense, numeric techniques (ordination and classification) and computer programs including these techniques are important assistant tools. The classification of plant communities and determination of their ecologic, biologic and structural properties is much easier today thanks to these techniques and computer programs. In this work, some knowledge were presented about ordination and classification techniques, which are widely used in vegetation science in the world and especially in Europe. TURBOVEG data base management program and JUICE program, which is used to classify and arrange the vegetation data were also presented. Keywords: Phytosociology, Juice, Ordination, Classification, Turboveg.

Vegetation of old fields with different ages was sampled using a chronosequence of fields abandoned 1, 3, 6, 9, 13, 15 and 100 years ago. We prepared dendrogram dividing the data set into 9 clusters that were further analyzed: diagnostic species, ecological conditions and life forms were evaluated. The initial stage of succession was characterized by segetal weeds and indicated high levels of soil nutrients. The second stage was dominated by dense patches of perennial forbs (most of them ruderal species) preferring also high levels of soil nutrients. The third stage was dominated by caespitose hemicryptophyte grasses, many of them of sub-Mediterranean origin. The first two stages took 13 years and both could be considered as early successional stages developing on nutrient rich soils. These stages were switched to late successional stage characterized by seminatural grassland species. The...

In this paper, the following syntaxa have been either described or validated, such as the Potentillo montenegrinae-Festucion paniculatae (Festucetalia spadiceae, Juncetea trifidi), the Aquilegio nigricantis-Rhododendrion hirsuti (Rhododendro hirsuti-Ericetalia carneae, Rhododendro hirsuti-Ericetea carneae), the Hyperico grisebachii-Pinion mugo (Junipero-Pinetalia mugo, Roso pendulinae-Pinetea mugo), the Lathyro veneti-Taxion baccatae, Quercion petraeo-cerridis (both Quercetalia pubescentis, Quercetea pubescentis) and the Buxo- Syringion vulgaris (Paliuretalia, Rhamno-Prunetea).

Spring vegetation of Montio-Cardaminetea appears at sources in the subalpine zone and tall herb communities of Cirsion appendiculati are found along streams down to the montane zone. The floristic composition of vegetation along the altitudinal gradient is presented and analyzed. The vegetation has also been classified into a syntaxonomic system and the following syntaxa have been established: Pedicularis limnogenae-Saxifragetum stellaris subsp. alpigenae (Pinguiculo balcanicae-Cardaminion raphanifoliae subsp.acris,Montio-Cardaminetalia, Montio-Cardaminetea); Doronico-Cirsietum appendiculati and Geo coccinei-Rumicetum alpinae (Cirsion appendiculati, Adenostyletalia, Mulgedio-Aconitetea).
