ABSTRACT

The changes of the environmental characteristics (soil moisture, soil reaction and nutrient content in the soil) in habitats of the nine alliances of the Molinio-Arrhenatheretea class along a gradient of anthropogenic transformation were studied using synphytoindication method with

Ellenberg indicator values. It was established that the general trends of edaphic properties changes caused by anthropogenic pressure are decreasing of soil moisture, increasing of soil reaction and rise of nutrient content in the soil.
