The Analysis Of Species Composition Of Vegetation On The Recultivated Parts Of Municipal Waste Landfill

The aim of this paper was to determine the species composition of plants that are able to sustain themselves in an active landfill (sites are located in Zlin Region, Czech Republic). Four different habitats on the recultiveted parts of municipal waste landfill were chosen for evaluation. Three habitats were selected on the land with the recultivated part of the landfill (recultivation between years 2010 and 2012). Fourth habitat is not maintained and is not use like landfill. Recultivation on fourth habitat was not carried out. The evaluation of the vegetation was carried out using the recording phytosociological methods. Altogether 90 plant species were found. It is clear from the results that the cultivated areas differ in the composition of plant species vegetation compared to the original vegetation. At the habitat with a younger recultivation, expansive species such as Calamagrostis epigejos, Arrhenatherum elatius or the nitrophilic species as Elytrigia repens, Galium album were more frequent. At the habitat with the oldest recultivation there were more frequent species,which were sown at the habitat and original plant species as Festulolium, Lathyrus pratensis. Recultivated landfills are an interesting ecosystem where succession takes place. However, species rich vegetation is not stable and the species composition changes.
