Abstract
The ruderal vegetation of differently used farmyards in the village of Lonja (Lonjsko Polje Nature Park) was studied. Floristic-structural (species, plant formations) and physiognomic-structural (life forms) characteristics show how changes in the use of former farmyards, for example their abandonment or being used for leisure, influence the ruderal vegetation. It appears, that changes in vegetation structure over a period of 10 to 15 years are much more quantitative than qualitative. Besides this, a new, easy, calculated index for the comparison of the homogeneity of collections of vegetation releves is presented.
