Abstract: Impact of Public Parks Location in Cities on Richness and Diversity of Herbaceous Vascular Plants on the Example of Cracow (Southern Poland).
The richness and diversity of greenery in the classic monocentric model of a city increases with the distance from its center. Some elements of greenery in the layout of urban space do not show this principle,
that is, their location in a given zone in the city does not affect their richness. This article tested whether the richness and diversity of herbaceous vascular plants of parks depends on their location, on the
example of the city of Cracow. The research indicates that in relation to distance from the city center to parks, the herb layer of Cracow‘s parks has an azonal character, meaning that its richness does not depend
on park location. However, as Cracow does not have a typical monocentric character, taking into account several urban centers around which city has developed, the richness and diversity of the herb layer of parks
shows a favorable relationship along with the distance from these centers.
