“…Several of the above-mentioned factors have been taken into account to explain the distribution of orchid species, and particular attention has been given to climatic conditions (Wotavová et al 2004 ), nutrient availability (Silvertown et al 1994 ), physic environmental (Djordjević et al 2016 ;Kull and Hutchings 2006 ;Tsiftsis et al 2008 ) and anthropogenic disturbance such as fire and grazing (Coates et al 2006 ;Gregg 2004 ;Hutchings et al 1998 ;Janišová et al 2011 ). However, the extant vegetation may further modify microsite availability through such community attributes as the thickness of the litter layer or percentage cover of vegetation, and through indirect effects on the microclimate (e.g.…”

“…For example, due to the weak competitive ability of most orchid species, they generally colonize newly created habitat patches (such as roadside verges), where the abundance of dominant plant species and the cover of trees and shrubs is low (Jersáková & Malinová, ). Furthermore, roadsides can act as ecotones, and due to the previously mentioned reasons, orchids frequently prefer these transitional areas (Bray & Wilson, ; Djordjević, Tsiftsis, Lakušić, Jovanović, & Stevanović, ; Duchoň, ; Rai, Adhikari, & Rawat, ; Slaviero, Del Vecchio, Pierce, Fantinato, & Buffa, ). The microscopic seeds of orchids are effectively dispersed by the wind, even on long distances (Arditti & Ghani, ), thus facilitates the effective colonization of new habitat patches, like newly created roadside verges, by these species.…”

“…Sometimes, orchids also colonize abandoned marl and lime pits, but avoid saline marshes, 26 arid white dune areas and intensively managed farmlands (Pedersen & Faurholdt 2010). The soil's structure 27 and texture, hydrology, pH, mycorrhiza availability and composition of nutrients are important ecological 28 factors that characterize suitable habitats for orchids (Djordjević et al 2016;Hemrová et al 2019;29 McCormick & Jacquemyn 2014; van der Heijden et al 2015). Furthermore, light conditions, the degree of 30 disturbance and, for some orchids, the presence of specific pollinators play important roles for habitat 31 suitability (Pedersen & Faurholdt 2010;Schiestl 2005).…”
