The aims of this research are to assess the relationship between the concepts of hemeroby
and naturalness of plant communities and to test the hypothesis about the ordinal nature of …

Soil penetration resistance increases as a result of park reconstruction.• Soil compaction
explains one-third of the variability in soil macrofauna.• The abundance of the earthworm …

The role of tree species as a tool for bioaccumulation of heavy metals is an important current
issue within the context of the increase of anthropogenic pressure in urban ecosystems. The …

Urban parks provide a variety of ecosystem services, and a range of management practices
promote their maximisation. The species diversity of plant communities is a factor in the …

The ecomorphic approach was developed to analyze the structure of natural plant
communities. This method was applied to analyze the ecological structure of an artificial …

Abstract Information about the slope angle and its exposure is often given when describing
plant communities. However, the slope angle should be noted to affect a complex of different …

Urbanization causes the highest local extinction rates and often leads to the loss of the vast
majority of native species. Plant communities are sensitive to urban expansion and are …

Recreation affects various components of ecosystems. A significant transformation occurs in
the soil cover in urban parks. The physical properties of soil are sensitive indicators of the …

Soil organic carbon comprises the majority of the terrestrial soil carbon pool and plays an
important role in the global carbon cycle and balance. Even minor changes in soil organic …

In urban park reconstruction, one of the target management functions is soil quality. The
aggregate structure provides the ability to efficiently perform soil ecosystem functions. The …
