Abstract
A botanical survey of a buffalo pasture of Dunaszeg was carried out on 14 May 2024. The study area was a French buffalo meadow (Arrhenatheretum). The results of the cenological survey were evaluated according to Borhidi's Social Behaviour Types and ecological indicator values (water demand, nitrogen demand, light demand), and the degree of degradation of the area was determined. The dominant plant species in the area was French perennial (Arrhenatherum elatius), classified as a disturbance-tolerant species with 36.09% cover. The degree of degradation of the area is close to 1 (DF: 0.99), indicating the degradation of the area due to the constant grazing every day of the year for the 3rd year. In the study area, reducing grazing pressure and occasionally introducing natural seed dispersal into the grassland management technology could be a solution to regenerating the vegetation.
