Summary: Investigations of ruderal vegetation in Croatia are primarily concerned with vegetation along roads, forest margins and river-banks. Phytocoenological and phytogeographical characteristics, distributions and role of adventitious plants, with special amphasis on neophytes, are investigated. The investigations of population structure and ecology of widespread neophytic stands with Solidago gigantea and Helianthus tuberosus on the river-banks in northwestern Croatia were also done. The communities of lowland and hill grasslands of Croatia are investigated phytosociologically and ecologically. Syntaxonomy of some meadow communities and the distribution of several important or rare grassland plants are investigated. Essential site conditions in some grassland communities are analysed, especially the soil moisture and the soil nitrogen mineralization dynamics.

Keywords: ruderal vegetation, grasslands, phytocoenology, ecology, Croatia

Research goals: To complete the knowledge about the ruderal and grassland flora and vegetation of Croatia. To establish main migration routes of neophyta in Croatia. Expected results New data about the floristic composition, distribution and ecology of different grassland and ruderal communities, recent observations of distribution and naturalization of neophyta.
