Species are classified in the social behaviour type system of Borhidi according to the Flóra database (Horváth et al. 1995). The S, C, and G basic types combined with the rarity classification (r – rare, u – unique) generate an additional dimension.

I. – Natural competitors (C)

  • Cr – Rare competitors
  • Cu – Unique competitors

II. – Stress-tolerants (ST)

  • Specialists (S)
    • Sr – Rare specialists
    • Su – Unique specialists
  • Generalists (G)
    • Gr – Rare generalists
    • Gu – Unique generalists

III. – Ruderals (R)

  • Natural Pioneers (NP), plant species of stressed habitats
  • Plant species of anthropogenically disturbed habitats:
    • DT – Disturbance-tolerants
    • W – Weeds
  • Anthropogenic alien plants:
    • I – Introduced aliens
    • A – Adventive aliens
  • Competitors of secondary habitats:
    • RC – Ruderal Competitors
    • AC – Alien Competitors
