Trisetum flavescens has a slightly smaller number of occurrences – 10 – with an area share ranging from 10 to 37%. Other species, such as Alopecurus pratensis or Dactylis glomerata , have a much smaller number of occurrences – two, with a cover of 3 to 15%. The most common legumes are Trifolium pratense and T. repens , with the number of 11 occurrences and the share in plots ranging from 4 to 40%, with T. pratense having a larger area share in each plot than T. repens . Vicia cracca and V. sepium occur less frequently and with much lower coverage – from + to 4% coverage for 6–7 occurrences. Among other species, the most occurrences are recorded for Ranunculus acris – 10, with a coverage of up to 5%. Plantago lanceolata , Ranunculus repens , Sonchus arvensis occur here slightly less frequently, but with greater coverage – from + to 15% coverage for 9 occurrences.
