The article deals with the question of phytogeographical differenciation of broad-leaved ravine forests in SE Europe and their geographic distribution. Cutting-edge methods for processing large datasets were applied. Numerical analyses showed that broad-leaved ravine forests of SE Europe form a separate group within European broad-leaved ravine forests.

By means of an objective method for classification of vegetation relevés, we used the Cocktail algorithm for the vegetation, as it enables the objectivity in selecting the floristic criteria in classification. The classification is made based on a large dataset of all vegetation types. The research dealing with weed vegetation is a test case for further classification of Slovenian vegetation. So far, comparable researches have been conducted only in the Czech Republic and Germany. The results enable generation of automatic classification with expert system in the Juice program.

We collected relevés of weed vegetation in the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula and studied their species structure and diversity. It was determined that the most important environmental variables that affect the species composition are phytogeographical position and crop, and less so the year and season of the relevé and altitude. We also investigated the changes in ß diversity along all the listed gradients and the changes in species composition and ecological conditions relative to time. ß diversity is high in cereals and during the summer, but declines with altitude.

We studied post-fire long-term regeneration of the Pinus brutia forest using the synchronical approach. We analysed species richness pattern and vegetation diversity. The results of our floristic survey show that the majority of species are present from the beginning of the succession and suggest that those forests recover through autosuccession. The study brings together similar studies in the eastern Mediterranean and makes a comparison with the western Mediterranean basin. The study of one of the most important ecological problem in the Mediterranean basin has also a high applied value.

We collected and processed relevés of thermophilous deciduous forests of Southeastern Europe classified into the order Quercetalia pubescentis. Following numerical analyses we established they can be classified into eight groups. Thus we evaluated the current findings that sprang from empirical studies and proposed several new (syn)taxonomic solutions. The paper presents all alliances occurring in the region that reflect the phytogeographical position and site conditions, their distribution and diagnostic species calculated with the fidelity index.
