Larch pastures are use-stabilized features of alpine cultural landscapes, which are characterized by a two-layer structure made of a loose screen of European larch (<italic>Larix decidua</italic>) with pastures underneath. As a product of rural alpine farming, larch pastures are widespread in the traditional use systems on both siliceous and carbonate subsoils in the high montane-subalpine altitudinal zone of the Alps (cf. M<sc>ayer</sc> 1974; 31f.). The combination of geology and cultivation shows a remarkable floristic diversity, especially in the case of formations over carbonate substrates. Rationalizations within alpine farming since the decades after the Second World War - and again accelerating within the past 20 years - promote dynamic changes within the vegetation composition of many larch pastures. The paper reconstructs the vegetation dynamics on larch pastures on carbonate under the influence of decline in use and abandonment using examples in Totes Gebirge, Dachstein massif and Osterhorn group. Via the tabular comparison of phytosociological vegetation recordings from eleven alpine pastures that are currently managed at various levels of intensity or were abandoned at different times, the directions and stages of dynamics are traced and the development of the number of species is examined.

In the area around Molln (district Kirchdorf an der Krems) in Upper Austria, “Bergwiesn”, a private association with the objective of maintaining the cultivated landscape, takes care of more than 30 meadows in difficult and steep terrain. By annual mowing, they aim to keep the plots clear of encroachment and to remove nutrients. In the present study, 26 of those meadows were examined, in order to find out whether their vegetation matches that of nutrient-poor grassland on calcareous soil and whether the success of the maintenance measures can be statistically confirmed. Additionally, literature research was conducted on the feed quality of these meadows. The results show that more than a third of the plots match the vegetation of nutrient-poor grassland on calcareous soil, while the rest can be categorised as fertilised meadows. Yet, all meadows show key species of both vegetation types, and by continuous nutrient removal, fertilised meadows could be transformed into nutrient-poor grassland. Therefore, appropriate measures can contribute to the development of meagre meadows, which are particularly valuable in nature conservation terms. The statistical analysis yields no significant results. Looking at the feed value through conventional parameters, these meadows need to be given a rather low rating. Still, as an addition to conventional feed and for alternative uses (e.g. wellness purposes), hay from meagre meadows harbours some potential.

<italic>Euonymus latifolius</italic> in the Bohemian Massif – In the present study, scattered and mainly previously unpublished distribution data of <italic>Euonymus latifolius</italic> for the Bohemian Massif are aggregated and presented in tabular and graphical form. In Lower Austria, the otherwise pre- to perialpine distribution pattern extends northwards to the area of the Bohemian Massif, becomes isolated and represents the European northern range edge of autochthonous occurrences with an exposed range outpost in the Lower Austrian Freiwald region. So far there is evidence from 10 quadrants. Although siliceous growth sites are also colonized, the ecological assemblage remains species-typical and includes deciduous forests, but also copses. The discussion is mainly devoted to the topics of floristic status, cultivation and dispersal ecology. Contradictions in the reference material concerning range and status data are pointed out.

From 2016 to 2018 a comprehensive mapping of hawkweeds (<italic>Hieracium</italic> s. str., <italic>Pilosella</italic> and <italic>Chlorocrepis</italic>) accompanied by intensive activities in collecting of herbarium specimens was carried out in the Burgenland (Austria). Additionally, records cited in literature and obtained by revision work in several European herbaria were added to our database. As a result, an annnotated list of hawkweeds species in Burgenland country is presented. It is based on almost 2900 datasets, of which nearly 2700 are documented by herbarium specimens. In additition to <italic>Chlorocrepis staticifolia</italic> the list includes 22 species of the genus <italic>Hieracium</italic> with 64 subspecies and 32 species of the genus <italic>Pilosella</italic> with five subspecies. All of them are documented by herbarium specimens. In addition, 31 subspecies from literature are cited in the text. Eight species of the genus <italic>Hieracium</italic> (<italic>H. diaphanoides, H. glaucinum, H. neostenophyllum, H. pillii, H. pseudobifidum, H. rotundatum, H. sibaricum, H. transylvanicum</italic>) and eight species of the genus <italic>Pilosella</italic> (<italic>P. acrothyrsa, P. calodon, P. erythrochrista,P. flagellaris, P. heterodoxa, P. koernickeana, P. tubulata</italic> and <italic>P. ziziana</italic>) were detected for the first time in Burgenland. Seven species, mentioned in the botanical literature (<italic>H. clusii</italic>, <italic>H. saxatile</italic>, <italic>H. schmidtii</italic>, <italic>H. subramosum</italic>, <italic>P. dubia</italic>, <italic>P. onegensis, Schlagintweitia intybacea</italic>) are classified as wrong or dubious information. The name of <italic>H. brevifolium</italic> subsp. <italic>brachysteleon</italic> is validated, the name of <italic>H. pilosellinum</italic> subsp. <italic>purbachense</italic> is lectotypified. Six new combinations are made: <italic>H. rotundatum</italic> subsp. <italic>lancifolium</italic>, <italic>H. rotundatum</italic> subsp. <italic>leptocephaloides</italic>, <italic>H. rotundatum</italic> subsp. <italic>platyrhombum</italic>, <italic>H. rotundatum</italic> subsp. <italic>pleiophyllopsis</italic>, <italic>H. rotundatum</italic> subsp. <italic>praecurrens</italic>, <italic>H. rotundatum</italic> subsp. <italic>subserratifolium</italic>.

STAPFIA

Stapfia is the botanical journal of the Biocenter Linz (Austria) that aims to advance botany in its broadest sense.   Since 1977 monographs, contributions to symposia, and since 1994 and from volume 32 on also the catalogues of the exhibitions of the Biocenter Linz are published in Stapfia.  Since 2010 a new subseries entitled Stapfia reports was added to our well-established periodical. Stapfia reports publishes original articles, reviews, brief communications and technical notes in all fields of botanical research including history of botany, systematics, geobotany, cytogenetics, conservation biology, physiology, molecular biology and other aspects of botanical sciences. Publication schedule of Stapfia reports is one volume per year.
