In Anbindung an die Stadtbiotopkartierung von Frankfurt am Main in den Jahren 1992 und 1993 wurde das Industrie- und Gewerbegebiet des Osthafens floristisch und vegetationskundlich untersucht. Auf einer Fläche von 195 ha wurden 407 spontan und subspontan auftretende Farn- und Blütenpflanzen sowie über 70 Vegetationseinheiten nachgewiesen. Für die floristisch-ökologische Analyse wurde eine methodenkritische Darstellung der verwendeten Anthropochorenklassifikation nach SCHROEDER (1969) und der Differenzierung der Flora nach Lebensformtypen durchgeführt. Die Kombination der unterschiedlichen Einteilungsprinzipien trägt zur besseren Charakterisierung der Ruderalflora bei. Die Forderung nach einem geographischen und zeitlichen Bezugsrahmen wird begründet und für die Bewertung der Flora des Frankfurter Osthafens sowie des gesamten Stadtgebietes ein Bezugsgebiet in den Grenzen des Rhein-Main-Tieflandes vorgeschlagen.
Kagbeni and its irrigated oasis are surrounded by subdesert dwarf scrubland. In the present study, a list of 78 species of vascular plants is presented for Kagbeni and its immediate surroundings, supplemented with data on the distribution of the species within the entire Mustan District. The data are arrived from own investigations and the geobotanical literature. A phytogeographical analysis shows the prevalence of western over eastern elements. Species with a wide distribution in Eurasia, which constitute one third of the total flora of Kagbeni, are of great importance as weeds on arable fields and in ruderal places within the irrigated oasis. Their occurrence is closely related to human activity. Presumably, most of these weeds have reached the area under study in connection with agriculture a long time ago. Weeds from the New World, although recorded in other villages of Mustan District, have not been found in Kagbeni. The weed vegetation of Kagbeni is documented by nine vegetation releves, and is compared to releves from Jomsom and Mzrpha. A floristic gradient from south to north that has been detected by earlier investigations throughout the whole district can be reproduced at the local scale. With regard to the weed flora, the effects of different crops are minimal, compared to effects of altitude and other factors related to altitude.
Für 112.253 pflanzensoziologische Aufnahmen der Niederlande wurden Berechnungen zur Pflanzenartenvielfalt durchgeführt. Eine Korrelationsanalyse zeigt den hochsignifikanten Zusammenhang der Artenvielfalt mit verschiedenen Standortsparametern auf. Artenreiche Bestände sind in den Niederlanden vor allem im Offenland, hier besonders in Zwergbinsenfluren (Isoeto-Nanojuncetea), in Trocken- und Steppenrasen (Koelerio-Corynephoretea, Festuco-Brometea), Flachmooren (Parvocaricetea), Borstgrasrasen (Nardetea), im Wirtschaftsgrünland (Molinio-Arrhenatheretea) und Saumgesellschaften (Trifolio-Geranietea, Saginetea) zu finden. Artenarmut ist unter den verschiedensten ökologischen Bedingungen zu finden. Die sehr artenarmen Bestände repräsentieren häufig Wasserpflanzengesellschaften (Zosteretea, Potamogetonetea), Röhrichte (Phragmitetea), Ufergehölze (Salicetea purpureae), Salzrasen (Spartinetea) und Weißdünengesellschaften (Ammophiletea).
Les résultats de 227 relevés phytosociologiques selon l’approche phytosociologique effectuées au Parc Urbain Bangr-Wéoogo de Braun-Blanquet (1932) montrent que malgré son contexte de forte pression anthropique avec plus d´un million d’habitants aux alentours, cette forêt urbaine conserve encore de nos jours une diversité floristique appréciable avec 327 espèces inventoriées comprenant 117 espèces ligneuses et 210 espèces herbacées. Cette flore qui est répartie dans 11 groupements individualisés grâce aux espèces différentielles, est constituée essentiellement de phanérophytes et de thérophytes. La répartition phytogéographique des espèces montre leur appartenance à plusieurs empires phytogéographiques dominés par les espèces Soudano-Zambeziennes et Pantropicales. La richesse floristique du parc qui contraste avec son environnement, est le résultat d’une politique d’aménagement et de conservation efficace de la biodiversité initiée par l'État et ses partenaires depuis 1936.

The Feldbach district is situated near the town of Feldbach in the southeastern province of Styria, Austria. Since 2007, a climate observation network of 151 climate stations within an area of approximately 20 x 15 km (grid cell 1.4 × 1.4 km) has provided a unique collection of spatial and temporal meteorological data. Examining short-lived ruderal and arable weed communities, we search for correlations and spatial patterns between the community composition and climate data. Do such plant communities respond to temperature differences within an agricultural landscape and on a regional scale? Data of 277 relevés from short-lived weed communities were collected across the investigated area during the summer of 2011. Relevés were assigned to the corresponding climate stations and classified. Average Ellenberg indicator values for temperature were calculated for each relevé and community cluster. Measured temperature data were assigned and correlated with community data by applying linear regression and redundancy analyses (RDA). The classification resulted in six associations; the two most frequently observed associations were divided into subtypes resulting in 13 vegetation clusters that could be analyzed further. A significant relationship could be found only between the clusters of arable weed communities and the average winter temperatures. Site variables explain twice as much variance as measured climate variables; this ratio changes to 50 : 50 when we analyzed only arable field community data. No clear spatial patterns concerning mean annual temperature were visible. However, the Setaria faberi subtype of the Echinochloo-Setarietum and the Sorghum halepense subtype of the Convolvulo-Agropyretum show a tendency toward a temperature-induced spatial pattern, such that both were sensitive to winter temperature. On a regional scale, the occurrence and composition of short-lived ruderal plant communities correlated weakly with climate variables. However, the studied arable weed communities showed a certain tendency to follow small-scale temperature differences, especially those of average winter temperature. We conclude that short-lived weed communities have the potential to be indicators for global warming, but the spatial temperature gradients are not clear enough in our approach to allow the production of better regression models and elucidation of distinct spatial patterns.
