Die Wilde Tulpe (Tulipa sylvestris L.) im Raum Celle – Biotopbindung und Verbreitungsbild eines Neophyten

By using the area of Celle as an example, this paper illustrates the expansion of the neophytic species wild tulip (Tulipa sylvestris). Coming from former historic parks and gardens the wild tulip spreads to grassland and near-natural fringes, scrubs and forests, also to alluvial forests of the Pruno-Fraxinetum, the Stellario nemorum-Alnetum glutinosae and the Ulmenion minoris. Tulipa sylvestris mostly grows near to rivers. So we can decide that wild tulip spreads by hydrochory.
