Abstract
Introduction to the Study of Plant Cover of Anthropic Stations in Italy. The present work is introductory to a series of special papers dealing with Italian farm-land weeds and ruderal plants. The Author attempts to lay down the general criteria for the study, of the antropic communities of the earth's vegetation. He points out the great ecological and phytogeographical interest of those plant communities which are directly conditioned by man, seen as a widespread experiment in soil occupation by plants and in the “settling-down” process of mature vegetal cover, in such peculiar stations as the anthropic ones. This natural experiment is going on all the time and has in itself the possibility of leading towards characteristic oecological settlements of plants, biological competition, and — possibly · specific mutations.Keywords
