Introduction
Plant traits are widely used informations for describing and analising patterns and
processes of vegetation. Some plant traits are easily measurable, some plant traits
needs many time (years) to measure, so it looks a good solution to use databases
of other countries. There are many available databases for West-European floras,
but their applicability in East- Europe is restricted, i.e. the same species may have
different plant trait on different climates and there are East-European species that
do not occur in West-Europe.
We have started to compose a database for Hungarian vascular flora, which
consists of app. 2500 vascular plant species. Now we present the first 3 step of
this project
1. Study of the applicability of West-European databases for the Hungarian
flora.
2. Looking for published plant trait data bases for Hungarian species
3. Developing of the structure of the new Hungarian database
1. Study of the applicability of West-European databases for the
Hungarian flora
We compared the plant species list of the Biopop (Kleyer, M 1995: Biological
traits of vascular plants. A database), Elecol (Hodgson J.G., Grime J.P., Hunt R.
és Thompson K.1995: The electronic comparative plant ecology) and Seedbank
(Thompson K., Bakker J.P., Bekker R. M. 1997: The soil seed banks of North
West Europe) with the Hungarian species list (Horváth F., Dobolyi K.,
Morschhauser T., Lőkös L, Karas L.,Szerdahelyi T. 1995: Flóra adatbázis
Vácrátót)
• We looked, if the common species are representative for the total Hungarian
species list on the basis of two, already know plant trait: area type and water
indicator number? We used the data of the Hungarian Flora database.
• We used Chi2-test for every area type and every water indicator number.

Summary
Distribution of different dispersal types/water indicator numbers in the Hungarian
Flora (in percentage) and in the common species list of the selected database and
Hungarian Flora (in percentage).
Water indicator number: 1: driest species, 12: aquatic species, Distribution types:
Atl: Atlantic, Euro: European, Euroasian, North: boreal, alpin, East: Continental,
Cos: Cosmopolitan and adventive, Med: Mediterranean, Pan: Pannonic and
endemic, Non: non know distribution
There is a need for a good database of easily measurable or already mesured plant
traits of Hungarian vascular plants. The planned database will contain information
for the most important plant traits and for the most important species of Hungarian
flora. European databases do not contain data for many of theses species. We plan to
publish the new database in the year 2004.
If you are interested in the database or in the published databeses listed in the poster,
