Group V – weedy meadow/pasture with Plantago lanceolata ( Tab. 5 – Appendix 1)

There are 11 plots in the last group. Among the grasses, the most common here is Phleum pratense – seven occurrences, with a share of 5 to 20%. Poa pratensis was identified on six plots, with a share of 5 to 15%, and on five plots Trisetum flavescens , with a cover of 5 to 20%. The remaining four grass species occur less often – up to four plots, with a maximum cover of 15% ( Holcus lanatus ). From legumes, Trifolium pratense occurs on each studied plot, with a share of 2 to 30%. Lotus corniculatus and Vicia sepium grow slightly less often; on nine plots, the first species reaches a cover of 4 to 15%, and the second to a maximum of 5%. The most common weed is Plantago lanceolata , which has been identified on each studied plot, reaching here from 4 to 20%. Only one of the studied plots did not record Ranunculus acris ; this species reaches a maximum cover of 10% in this group of plots.
