Vegetation gradients due to management and light intensity in beech stands of the Lviv region (Ukraine)

Conservation and sustainable use of forest ecosystems is one of the most important environmental goals today. In this work, special attention was directed to the vegetation of beech forests (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Ukraine. Beech stands of the Lviv region are among the most productive in Europe and a...

description Conservation and sustainable use of forest ecosystems is one of the most important environmental goals today. In this work, special attention was directed to the vegetation of beech forests (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Ukraine. Beech stands of the Lviv region are among the most productive in Europe and are characterized by species rich herbaceous vegetation. In this work, the amount and structure of the herbaceous species vegetation in beech stands in Lviv green zone was analysed in relation to gradients in light and management intensity from nature reserve, managed forest and parks. Research on the sample areas shows, that there is a difference in species composition between forest, natural reserve and park areas in the green zone of Lviv city. Differences mainly depend on the anthropogenic impact on the territory.. Sample areas which are situated far from places of recreation show a higher presence of typical beech forest species, than comparing to places, where the level of recreation is more intense.
