Abstract:

The paper indicates the relations and general regularities taking place between the production and structural characteristics of herb layer in different forest communities. Floristic richness, density, frequency and population production are otherwise reflected in the gradient of varying forest soil richness. Especially the dominance structure differs considerably between the oligo- and eutrophic environments. The significance of dominants in the structure and functioning of the ecosystem is pointed out.
