Reports on the importance of hedgerows for conservation of vulnerable herbaceous forest (HF) species are conflicting. The main objective of the present study was to throw light on the possible role of hedgeworks functioning as dispersal corridors for HF species. Seventy-four plots were laid out in a hedgerow network close to ancient woodlands. A total of 30 HF species were found. Richness and cumulated frequency of HF species as well as the frequencies of six selected forest herb species were compared with hedgerow age, width, distance to woodland and weighted Ellenberg indicator values for light, soil moisture, soil pH and soil fertility. Distance to woodland followed by light and soil moisture were the most important explanatory variables of HF species... |
