Species composition was recorded for 325 plots of 5×5m and species were assigned to functional groups based on vegetative attributes: (a)Raunkiaer life-form and (b)height of adult plants, and regenerative attributes: (c)mode of dispersal and (d)pollination class. The distribution of attributes was related to neighbourhood parameters that reflect the composition, distribution and diversity of nine habitat classes within a 25-m radius from the focal plot. Regression trees were used to analyse counts of attributes per plot. Best predictors were neighbourhood scores for open areas, road-side habitat, and neighbourhood diversity. The correlation between individual functional attributes and neighbourhood parameters were presented in a correlation matrix. A cluster analysis, representing a first step towards the construction of plant functional types, resulted in five groups characterised by a particular combination of functional attributes and preference of neighbourhood.
