JACKOWIAK B., ŻUKOWSKI W. (eds.) 2000. Mechanisms of Anthropogenic Changes of the Plant Cover. Publication of the Department of Plant Taxonomy of AMU in Poznań. 10: 1-305. Bogucki Wyd. Nauk. Poznań.

Twenty six articles present both the general and detailed problems of historic and contemporary changes in the plant cover. The authors have attempted to explain certain mechanisms of synanthropisation at the level of plant populations, flora, vegetation and vegetation landscapes. The subjects researched are water and land biocenoses of natural character and those under a heavy human pressure.

Key words:  flora, vegetation, theory and practices, anthropopressure, synanthropisation, Central Europe
