Sažetak

Intensive agricultural technologies lead to a simplification of landscape and a decrease in biodiversity. Besides
economic benefits, alley cropping might increase species richness, improving pollination in agriculture. In this research, a
traditional apricot plantation combined with crop fields was studied in Burgenland, focused on herbaceous diversity and
species composition, which have a crucial role in promoting pollination. The vegetation of the grassy strips under the
tree rows was compared to control grass and tree plantation habitats. The results show that the loose canopy layer of
the fruit trees promotes the appearance of several herbaceous species, which results in a more diverse understory layer
compared to the control tree plantation. However, the intensity of the management significantly impacts the species
richness and composition of the understory vegetation.
