[Synanthropic plant communities: models of organization and features of classification]
Abstract:
It is proposed to distinguish between three models of organization in synanthropic plant communities formed under the influence of man: R-modle, communities of segetal weeds in fields of annual crops and at initial stages of restoration successions; R --> CRS-model, serial communities of the later stages of restoration successions; CRS --> S-model, serial communities of allogenic successions under the influence of grazing and other external factors. The higher units of the ecological and faunistic classification (classes and orders) well represent the succession status and the soil and climate conditions under which synanthropic communities are formed. At the same time, the continual character of synanthropic vegetation makes recognition of plant associations inexpedient in some cases. It is preferable to use the deductive classification method of K. Kopeĉky and S. Hejny.
