Abstract
Lijeva Bara in the city of Vukovar is a wetland area of the former Vuka River branch. The area includes Lijeva Bara Sports and Recreation Center, and in the central part of the site, an early medieval cemetery of the Bijelo Brdo culture. The habitat is of a wetland character that is heavily anthropogenic, with some parts converted into arable land. The vascular flora was investigated for the first time during the vegetation seasons of 2020 and 2021, and a total of 143 taxa belonging to 119 genera and 44 families were recorded. The most abundant families are Poaceae (20 taxa, 14.0%), Asteraceae (17 taxa, 11.9%), and Lamiaceae (10 taxa, 7.0%). Among life forms, hemicryptophytes (45.5%) prevail, followed by therophytes (30.1%). Altogether 13 invasive alien taxa were recorded, among which representatives of the Asteraceae family (Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Conyza canadensis, Erigeron annuus, Galinsoga parviflora and Solidago canadensis) dominate in terms of their coverage and frequency.
