20.500.12556/DiRROS-25589 Plant biodiversity of Rosa damascena fields from Bulgaria’s Rose Valley The growing human population’s demand for food and organic materials has a severe impact on the environment as conventional agriculture expands, destroying habitats and wildlife. This highlights the need to balance provision security with biodiversity conservation through new agricultural practices. This study investigates how different agricultural practices affect the plant diversity found in rose fields located in Kazanlak region, Bulgaria. We compared conventional and organic farming methods, while also looking at how the management of spaces between the rose rows by mowing or ploughing affects their plant diversity. Our results show that mowing management, as opposed to ploughing, leads to greater plant diversity and a higher vegetation total cover. Additionally, organic farming practices combined with mowing management were found to support plant communities with higher diversity, compared to conventional farming under mowing. We conclude that organic farming combined with mowing management is the most beneficial practice for promoting plant diversity in Bulgarian rose fields. Naraščajoče povpraševanje človeške populacije po hrani in organskih materialih resno vpliva na okolje, saj se konvencionalno kmetijstvo širi in uničuje habitate in organizme. To izpostavlja potrebo po uravnoteženju varnosti oskrbe z dobrinami z ohranjanjem biotske raznolikosti preko novih kmetijskih praks. Ta študija predstavlja, kako različne kmetijske prakse vplivajo na raznolikost rastlin na poljih vrtnic v regiji Kazanlak v Bolgariji. Primerjali smo konvencionalni in ekološki način kmetovanja, pri tem pa ugotavljali tudi, kako upravljanje prostorov med zasaditvami vrtnic s košnjo ali oranjem vpliva na rastlinsko pestrost. Naši rezultati kažejo, da košnja, v nasprotju z oranjem, vodi v večjo raznolikost rastlin in v večjo pokritost z vegetacijo. Poleg tega smo ugotovili, da prakse ekološkega kmetovanja v kombinaciji s košnjo podpirajo rastlinske združbe z večjo raznolikostjo v primerjavi s konvencionalnim kmetovanjem s košnjo. Ugotavljamo, da je ekološko kmetovanje v kombinaciji s košnjo najboljši način za spodbujanje rastlinske raznolikosti na bolgarskih poljih vrtnic. agriculture conventional farming mowing organic farming plant diversity ploughing rose fields kmetijstvo konvencionalno kmetovanje košnja ekološko kmetovanje rastlinska raznolikost oranje polja vrtnic true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Imetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji Neznano 2026-01-23 20:34:20 2026-01-23 20:34:20 2026-02-19 08:09:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 15-24 št. 1 letn. 24 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-06-27 631:574(497.2) 1581-4661 10.3986/hacq-2025-0002 230709763 https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/hacquetia/article/view/13737/12087 1 85df4545-f892-11f0-a15d-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=38774 _HACQUETIA_24-1_2025_2_Velev+et+al.pdf _HACQUETIA_24-1_2025_2_Velev+et+al.pdf 1 13CAD0353553CD421420273F1FDAE850 7b7a07c4f808050ce33fff4004aeeac05d3b3ce6d9bd50f1e0f7fe53c7b72ad0 97545dff-f894-11f0-a15d-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=38775 Znanstvenoraziskovalni center Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti Hacquetia 0 0 0
