Flora of the cobbled streets and pavements in the Mediterranean Old City of Dubrovnik during the Covid-19 lockdown

The flora of the cobbled streets and pavements in the Old City of Dubrovnik, South Croatia, was studied in unusual circumstances with lack of trampling due to the Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020. The features of the flora through analyses of taxonomic composition, life forms, chorotypes and the phytosociological character of species found at eight sites in Dubrovnik Old City and along a transect line on the main street (Stradun) are reported. Altogether, 57 plant species and three subspecies were found. Therophytes, Cosmopolitans and taxa from the Papaveretea rhoeadis and Chenopodietea prevailed. The study highlights the importance of the investigation of both flora and vegetation within Dubrovnik’s city historical centre.
