Abstract
A floristic study of Jelenovac Forest Park, located in Zagreb city centre, was conducted during the vegetation season of 2019. In total, 255 vascular plant taxa were recorded, divided into 75 plant families, of which Compositae (12.55%), Rosaceae (7.06%) and Poaceae (6.67%) are the most represented. The spectrum of life-forms indicates the dominance of hemicryptophytes (43.14%) and phanerophytes (27.45%). The chorological analysis shows a domination of Eurasian floral element (27.45%), followed by large share of widespread (22.35%) and cultivated and adventitious plants (18.04%). Only one threatened, three strictly protected and as many as 12 invasive plant taxa were found. Comparison of flora of Jelenovac with similar urban and suburban areas of Zagreb conglomeration yielded diverse results, but still reflecting the common biogeographical position and influence of temperate climate and indicating a comparatively high anthropogenic influence.
Highlights
Jelenovac Forest Park is situated on the southern invasive plants (Pyšek et al 2010)
It is the effects of urbanisation on flora composition and situated in the eastern part of the Zagreb city cen- at the same time help preserve the biodiversity of tre, only about ten minutes walk from the Zagreb such ecosystems
The aim of this research was to study the vascular were used in the preparation of the life-form plant taxa of the Jelenovac Forest Park; to perform spectrum, with the following abbreviations: Ch an analysis of the recorded flora according to: taxo- – chamaephytes, G – geophytes, H – hemicryptopnomic preferences, chorological types, life-forms, hytes, Hy – hydrophytes, P – phanerophytes and IUCN category, protection status, endemism and T – therophytes
