CONTRIBUTION TO THE RESEARCH OF THE FLORA AND HABITAT CHARACTERISTICS OF SP „BORAČKI KRŠ“ BORAČ

Abstract

The Natural Monument „Borački krš“, encompasses a part of the Rudnik-Kotlenik region and it is located in the southwestern Šumadija between Rudnički, Kotlenik and Gledić mountains on the municipality of Knić. In the research area, 117 taxa were identified, classified into 41 families. The most numerous species belong to the families Asteraceae (16) and Lamiaceae (9). The forest is hemicrypto-terrophytic with a strong participation of fanerophytes. The high percentage of terophytes and fanerophytes is particularly characteristic, as it indicates a very warm and dry vegetation period of habitat. Invasive species are Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers., Amaranthus retroflexus L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L.
