Abstract

During botanical investigations in 2008 and 2009, on one part of Babina Gora, in Kordun, 191 plant taxa of vascular flora were established. The most frequent species is beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). The plant taxa recorded belong to 55 families, of which those with the greatest number of species noted are: Asteraceae, Poaceae, Rosaceae. No threatened plant species was found. However, eight neophytes were recorded (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Epilobium ciliatum Rafin., Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers., Juncus tenuis Willd Oxalis stricta L., Phytolacca americana L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Solidago gigantea Aiton), whose numbers and cover values are very often connected with a level of anthropogenic influence on plant cover. Analysis of plant life forms shows a predominance of hemicryptophytes, various woody species (macrophanerophytes, nanophanerophytes, hemiphanerophytes, pseudophanerophytes) and geophytes. Due to a better understanding of flora composition, vegetation was also investigated. As a result, 10 vegetation types have been established, with a predominance of forest communities, and the best represented is beech forest on acid soil (ass. Luzulo-Fagetum Meusel 1937).
