We studied the vegetation of agricultural landscapes in seven case studies in different landscape types in Slovakia. The territories have a relatively large diversity of habitat types, including those located in intensively used lowland landscapes. In semi-natural and linear habitats of all studied areas, we found the occurrence of a significant number of threatened and protected plant species. The detected diversity of habitats and the occurrence of threatened and protected species represent a good basis for further management of the areas, including the restoration of ecosystems and the development of green infrastructure, of which the mapped stands should be a part. In lowland case studies, a high occurrence of invasive species was found, which requires measures to remove them. In other areas, the occurrence of invasive species was low; in two case studies we did not record them at all.
