During floristic investigations in the city of Dubrovnik (South Croatia) and its surroundings, Erigeron karvinskianus DC. (Latin American fleabane) was found for the first time in Croatia in April 2013. The taxon was found on the walls in the inner suburban area. In this paper, the finding of the new species is reported and its syntaxonomic status is discussed. The genus Erigeron (subtribe Cony...

Vegetation diversity and ecology of grassland communities with Salvia officinalis were assessed in the natural range species Western Balkans, using Braun-Blanquet approach. With aim defining differences among identifying main environmental gradients, cluster analysis (Flexible Beta method) non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination applied. From a total 346 phytosociological relevés (259 us...

To comply with the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICPN), we validate names Saturejo spinosae-Scutellarietalia hirtae , Arenarion creticae Verbascion spinosi and Lomelosio sphacioticae-Centranthetum sieberi . Two divergent interpretations Article 3i about point at issue in validation first three are discussed. Syntaxonomic reference : Bergmeier (2002), unless indicated oth...

Aims : We studied the syntaxonomic position, biodiversity, ecological features, nature conservation value and current status of dry grasslands investigated by Josias Braun-Blanquet more than 60 years ago. Study area Inner-alpine valleys Austria. Methods sampled 67 plots 10 m 2 , following standardized EDGG methodology. subjected our to an unsupervised classification with modified TWINSPAN algor...

Mediterranean pine woodlands are one of the most common wooded vegetation types across Basin and included in two habitats European interest as they have great conservation importance. We studied class Pinetea halepensis dominated by Pinus halepensis, P. pinaster, pinea Sardinia (Italy) with aim to clarify their syntaxonomic position. compiled a dataset 66 original relevés, complemented holotype...

A phytosociological review is carried out of the pine forest formations on islands Cuba and Hispaniola (Caribbean), due to diversity soils environments. We collected 10 plant associations belonging class Byrsonimo-Pinetea caribaea growing siliceous, calcareous sandy substrates 21 special, serpentine ophite ultramafic rocks Caseario crassinervis-Pinetea cubensis, exclusive Cuba; while associatio...

Syntaxonomic diversity of the vegetation in southern tundra subzone Tazovsky Peninsula is represented by six associations, three subassociations and variants. Four associations (Dicrano maji–Salicetum lanatae Khitun ass. nov. hoc loco, Sphagno girgensohnii–Betuletum nanae Empetro subholarctici– Eriophoretum vaginati Eriophoro leiocarpi–Caricetum rotundatae loco), (Hierochloo alpinae– Hylocomiet...
