Vascular flora of the Dotr??ina forest (Zagreb, Hrvatska)Keywords: Dotr??ina, urban flora, vascular flora, Zagreb Abstract: Sa?etak The vascular flora of the recreation parkforest Dotr??ina, situated on the south-eastern slopes of the Medvednica Mt, was studied in 2016. In total 202 taxa were recorded, with the Rosaceae, Poaceae and Fabaceae being the most numerous families. Hemicryptophytes (47.4%), phanerophytes (20.9%) and geophytes (17.3%) prevail. The flora is dominated by taxa belonging to Euro-Asian (44.1 %) and central-European (17.8%) chorotype. As much as 14.8% of the flora is allochthonous, with eight invasive taxa originating from North America and Asia. The dominance of the plants of semi-shade, moderately moist and warm, mostly acidic, nitrogen-enriched soils was observed. The comparison between the flora of the Dotr??ina forest and other similar (sub) urban areas of Zagreb showed the similarities in terms of life forms and chorology, while on contrary, Dotrs?ina exhibits lower number of invasive species
