Sažetak
So far, no floristic data have been recorded for anthropogenic water surfaces in the Ludbreg area in Hrvatsko zagorje (north-western continental Croatia). Therefore, the aim of our work was to explore the vascular flora along part of the Bednja River - on the "Otok mladosti” (“Island of Youth"). Fieldwork was carried out during the vegetation seasons 2016 and 2021. Plants were geocoded, collected, identified and subjected to standard floristic analysis. In the studied area of approximately 1 km², a total of 207 taxa of vascular plants from 71 families have been recorded. The most abundant families are Poaceae (10.2 %), Asteraceae (7.2 %), Fabaceae (6.3 %), Rosaceae (4.8 %) and Scrophulariaceae (4.3 %). The life forms spectrum indicates dominance of hemicryptophytes (42.6 %) and the prevailing geoelement is Eurasian (59.0 %), which classifies the studied area as the Euro-Siberian-North American region. Two taxa are strictly protected, while no threatened taxa were recorded. The alien flora is represented by 44 taxa (21.3%), with the same share of archaeophytes and neophytes. Almost all neophytes (18 taxa) belong to invasive species. The largest number of plant taxa was recorded in meadows and ruderal habitats. Nevertheless, although the analysis of alien taxa and habitats may initially indicate a significant anthropogenic impact, the share of urbanophobic species is significantly higher than urbananophilous (32.3% vs. 20.4%), which potentially justifies the colloquial name of the study area - green lungs of the town of Ludbreg.
