[A syntaxonomic analysis of the initial stage effect on secondary autogenous succession of broad-leaved forest].

ABSTRACT

Using successional system of Stachyo sylvaticae-Tilietum cordatae association as a case study, the possibilities are considered of applying syntaxonomy as developed on the basis of floristic classification principles. Characteristics of restorative successions on cut-over lands have been analysed at strong and weak disturbance of soil cover as well as in plantings of coenotically weak species Pinus sylvestris and coenotically strong species Picea obovata. High self-restoring potential of the association studied is emphasised.
