The Influence Of Different Types Of Waste On Species Composition Of Vegetation At The Municipal Waste Landfill

The aim of this paper is to determine the effect of a different type of waste on the plant species composition on the active part of landfill in Netcice (Kromeriz District, Czech Republic). Three variants were selected for evaluation of the plant species composition within the actively used part of the landfill: biodegradable waste, inert waste and non-sorted municipal solid waste. A total of 124 plant species were found in all three variants together. Amaranthus powellii, Ballota nigra, Bromus sterilis, Echinochloa crus-galli, Elytrigia repens, Robinia pseudoacacia and Setaria pumila were found as characteristic species for a part of landfill with mixed municipal waste, whereas Atriplex patula, Atriplex sagittata, Cucurbita maxima, Hordeum murinum, Chenopodium album and Sisymbrium officinale as characteristic species for biodegradable waste and Arrhenatherum elatius, Cirsium arvense, Plantago major and Tussilago farfara for a part with inert waste. The landfill is a very specific environment for plants and the type of waste influences the species composition of vegetation.
