Abstract
The plant communities at the permanent plots were described. One hundred phytosociological relevés were made in the quadrates of 25m2 in size on the plot. The percentage cover of species in each layer of phytocenosis was estimated in the following scale: 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%,...,100%. This scale seems to be more precise than the more commonly used Braun-Blanquet’s scale.

Method Description
The plant communities at the permanent plots were described. One hundred phytosociological relevés were made in the quadrates of 25m2 in size on the plot. The percentage cover of species in each layer of phytocenosis was estimated in the following scale: 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%,...,100%. This scale seems to be more precise than the more commonly used Braun-Blanquet’s scale. In this study only vascular plant layers (tree stand, brushwood and herb) were analysed in detail. The moss layer was temporarily estimated including only dominant species. The list of species including contribution (frequency – percentage of squares with given species and range of percentage cover) of species in individual vegetation layers: A – tree, B –brushwood, C – herbs, D – mosses are presented.
