Abstract (in English)

Floristic and phytosociological surveys of Domorazské louky Nature Monument, made in 2010 and 2012, are presented. This protected wet grassland area is situated near the town of Valašské Meziříčí in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. In total, 60 taxa of bryophytes were recorded (7 liverworts and 53 mosses), one of them a data deficient – vanished species (DD-va) and three moss species belonging to the attention list (LC-att): Brachythecium mildeanum (Schimp.) Schimp., Hygroamblystegium tenax (Hedw.) Jenn. and Pseudocampylium radicale P. Beauv.) Vanderp. et Hedenäs. The most important record concerns the liverwort Fossombronia pusilla (L.) Nees (DD-va), considered to be missing from the bryoflora of the Czech Republic. Its last record dates back to 1939. Likewise, 234 taxa of vascular plants were found, 13 of them listed in local (northern Moravia), Czech or international Red lists. Endangered species (C2, EN) include the wetland plants Gladiolus imbricatus L. and the newly recorded Triglochin palustris L. Regarding the vulnerable taxa (C3, VU), we recorded Dactylorhiza majalis (Rchb.) P. F. Hunt et Summerh. subsp. majalis, Laserpitium prutenicum L. subsp. prutenicum, Valeriana simplicifolia (Rchb.) Kabath and newly also Isolepis setacea (L.) R. Br. The population of the orchid Dactylorhiza majalis subsp. majalis is highly valued, since several hundred plants occur there. Carex otrubae Podp., Inula salicina L. subsp. salicina, Veratrum album subsp. lobelianum (Bernh.)Schübl. et G. Martens, and the newly recorded Centaurium erythraea Rafn subsp. erythraea belong to lower-risk species (C4a, LR). An older record of Gentianopsis ciliata (L.) Ma was not confirmed. The vegetation is mosaic, consisting of a complex of wet meadows and springs with patches of drier grasslands and vegetation of willow shrubs and trees (along the stream). The relevés were assigned to the following syntaxa: Arrhenatherion elatioris Luquet 1926 (Poo-Trisetetum flavescentis Knapp ex Oberdorfer 1957), Molinion caeruleae Koch 1926 (Molinietum caeruleae Koch 1926), Calthion palustris Tüxen 1937 (Angelico sylvestris-Cirsietum oleracei Tüxen 1937, Cirsietum rivularis Nowiński 1927, Filipendulo ulmariae-Geranietum palustris Koch 1926), and Magno-Caricion gracilis Géhu 1961 (Caricetum acutiformis Eggler 1933).
