Iva xanthiifolia Nutt. and its communities within Warsaw

Barbara Sudnik-Wójcikowska

Abstract


Iva xanthiifolia Nutt., a north-American therophyte has been recorded in Warsaw only for the last 25-40 years. Here, it occurs as a ruderal epoecophyte. It may be considered as an invasive species in the town as it spreads very quickly. The paper represents the attempt at the determination of the coenological amplitude of Iva xanthiifolia Nutt. It also considers syntaxonomic affiliation of the communities with this species on the grounds of the deductive method of syntaxonomic classification of anthropogenic plant communities.

Keywords


invasive species; coenological amplitude; derivative community; deductive method of the syntaxonomic classification
