Sažetak
Continental dry grasslands in the area of Papuk are from the biological and landscape point of view very valuable habitats and are among the most threatened types of vegetation in our country, as well as in other parts of Europe. They are characterized not only by a high biodiversity, but also many rare and endangered species grow on them, such as orchids (Orchis spp., Ophrys spp.), carnations (Dianthus spp.) and others. Due to the absence of traditional farming (grazing and mowing) the areas of dry grasslands significantly reduced in the last fifty years. Due to progressive succession they are in constant dynamics and under threat of extinction. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to collect new and complement existing knowledge of such habitats, in order to prevent their further loss and loss of rare and protected taxa that grow on them. The study was conducted during the vegetation period of 2011 in the southern part of Papuk Mt. near the border of Nature Park Papuk, where a total of 240 vascular plant taxa have been recorded and classified into 143 genera and 52 families. New 29 taxa were recorded for the first time for this area. The most numerous is the family of legumes (Fabaceae), and in the life form spectrum hemicryptophytes dominated. A high proportion of phanerophytes indicates advanced processes of natural succession. According to the analysis of floral elements, dry grasslands are dominated by plants of Eurasian floral element, which biogeographically confirms the affiliation of the study area to the Euro-Siberian-North American region. On the researched area two endangered (EN), six vulnerable (VU) and 15 strictly protected species (ZZ) were recorded, which indicates a particular value and the need for protection and conservation of these habitats.
