Database manager(s): Yaroslav Golovanov (jaro1986@mail.ru); Larisa Abramova (abramova.lm@mail.ru)
Owner: Yaroslav Golovanov, Senior researcher, South Ural Botanical garden-institute, Laboratory of wild-growing flora and introduction of herbaceous plants
Scope: The database contains data on anthropogenic vegetation of the Urals (Republic of Bashkortostan, Orenburg, Chelyabinsk Regions) and adjacent territories.
Abstract: Database of anthropogenic vegetation of Urals and adjacent territories. The database contains 4327 vegetation plots. The anthropogenic communities include synanthropic herb and woody species in semi-natural communities of settlements and their environments.

Countries (%): RU: 99,9; KZ: 0,1
Formations: Forest: 2% = Terrestrial: 2% // Non Forest: 98% = Semi-aquatic: 4% (Fresh water: 4%); Terrestrial: 94% (Non arctic-alpin: 94% [Semi-natural: 2%; Anthropogenic: 93%])
Guilds: all vascular plants: 100%
Plot size categories (%): 1-10 m2: 32%; 10-100 m2: 65%; 100-1000 m2: 1%; unknowmn: 2%;
Environmental data (%): altitude: 0; slope aspect: 0.5; slope inclination: 0.5; microrelief: 0; surface cover other than plants (open soil, litter, bare rock etc.): 0; other soil attributes: 0; soil pH: 0; land use categories: 0; soil depth: 0; other attributes: The ecological conditions were assessed with use of average values of E. Landolt (1977) scale. Average values are calculated on the following scales: humidification (M), acidity (R), soil richness with mineral nutrition elements (N), humus (H) content, mechanical composition and soil structure (D), illumination (L) etc.
