| Abstract | Žive ograde imaju veliku ulogu u uređenju obiteljskih vrtova budući da štite od neželjenih pogleda, prašine i buke, ali i pružaju sklonište i hranu brojnim korisnim životinjama. Cilj ovoga rada bio je inventarizirati vrste i analizirati žive ograde obiteljskih vrtova grada Kastva. Na ukupnom uzorku od 100 analiziranih obiteljskih vrtova, žive ograde imalo je 84,9% okućnica, dok kod 15,1% okućnica nije zabilježeno prisustvo živih ograda. Prosječni broj živih ograda po okućnici iznosio je 1,3. Većina živih ograda bila je jednoredna (95,6%), oblikovana (65,1%) te je sadržavala samo jednu biljnu vrstu (77,2%). Prosječna visina živih ograda iznosila je 182,3 cm, prosječna duljina 12,4 m, a prosječna širina 104,8 cm. Svaka živa ograda prosječno je sadržavala 1,4 vrste. Na cijelom uzorku inventarizirane su ukupno 154 biljne vrste, s time da je najzastupljenija vrsta bila Prunus laurocerasus L. (48,7%), nakon koje su slijedile vrste Laurus nobilis L. (8,4%), Buxus sempervirens L. (5,8%), Hedera helix L. (3,9%) i Pittosporum tobira W.T. Aiton (3,2%). |
| Abstract (english) | Hedges play a major role in designing family gardens as they protect from unwanted views, dust and noise, but also provide shelter and food for many useful animals. The aim of this paper was to inventory the species and analyze the hedges of the family gardens of the town of Kastav. In the total sample of 100 analyzed family gardens, 84.9% of them had hedges, while in 15.1% of yards the presence of hedges was not recorded. The average number of hedges per yard was 1.3. Most hedges were planted in a single-row (95.6%), trimmed (65.1%) and composed of a single plant species (77.2%). The average height and width of hedges was 182.3 cm and 104.8 cm, respectively, and their average length was 12.4 m. Each hedge contained an average of 1.4 species. A total of 154 plant species were inventoried in the entire sample, with the most common species being Prunus laurocerasus L. (48.6%), followed by Laurus nobilis L. (8.4%), Buxus sempervirens L . (5.8%), Hedera helix L. (3.9%) and Pittosporum tobira WT Aiton (3.2%). |
