The spread of the invasive species Helianthus tuberosus L. in the urban areas of Samobor
The aim of this study was to analyse the potential spread of the invasive alien species Helianthus tuberosus L. (fam. Asteraceae) in the urban area of the city of Samobor. The field study was conducted in the period from 2008 till 2010 and re-conducted in 2014 as to observe the potential spreading of this invasive species to new areas. Geographic location of sites were geo-referenced with GPS receiver, and coordinates were stored in the Flora Croatica Database. The habitats were classified pursuant to the Croatian Habitat Classification. Our results showed the rising number of sites and their habitat types in the re-conducted field research. We detected 25 sites of the species H. tuberosus in the urban area of Samobor in the period of 2008-2010, which were confirmed in 2014, together with 30 new sites. Eight different types of habitat of the species H. tuberosus are found, among which the following ones are the most frequent: backyards, front yards and gardens (22 sites), terraced houses with backyards (6 sites), areas with nearby road traffic (6 sites), large construction sites, single buildings under construction (5 sites), buildings with public offices with adjacent areas (5 sites), abandoned agricultural areas overgrown with herbaceous vegetation (4 sites), buildings at the edges (2 sites) and mosaic of a complex structure of crops alongside houses (2 sites). Our study indicated that H. tuberosus has mainly been cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens and has spread from there into other urban areas of the city of Samobor.
