摘要

Floodplain forests represent dynamic ecosystems, with a distinctive mosaic structure. Despite their role as a buffer between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and their high value for biodiversity conservation, floodplain forests remain insufficiently studied in Serbia. Our aim was to establish a classification based on numerical analyses and define the main ecological drivers responsible for species turnovers and the ecological diversity of floodplain forests in the Pannonian part of Serbia. We analyzed 424 relevés originating from the northern part of Serbia. The classification was performed using the TWINSPAN algorithm in JUICE software. Five distinct groups were identified: 1. Salicion cinereae , 2. Salicion triandrae, 3. Salicion albae, 4. highly disturbed group with softwood and hardwood tree species, 5. Alno-Quercion roboris. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and correlation with Spearman coefficient, highlighted the key variables influencing floristic diversity, such as soil moisture, temperature and nutrients availability. The differences between groups, as well as the different soil properties, are reflected in species diversity. The most prevalent life forms within the groups were hemicryptophytes and phanerophytes, including nanophanerophytes, while species with a Eurasian distribution were the most dominant across all groups.
