Abstract
During preparation of the European checklist of vegetation units (EuroVegChecklist), it became clear that some earlier described syntaxa need to be typified in order to stabilize nomenclature and some new syntaxa need to be described. Here we propose nomenclature adjustments and formal description of four new alliances for the Arctic, alpine and oro-Mediterranean vegetation of Europe, Greenland and Anatolia. First, we typify the class Juncetea trifidi. Second, we describe four new alliances, such as the Puccinellion nuttallianae (Low-Arctic salt steppes of Greenland; class Saxifrago tricuspidatae-Calamagrostietea purpurascentis), Dryado octopetalae- Caricion arctisibiricae (Arctic tundra vegetation of north-eastern European Russia; class Carici rupestris- Kobresietea bellardii), Leontopodio nivalis-Elynion myosuroidis (southern European alpine tundra vegetation; class Carici rupestris-Kobresietea bellardii) and Lagotido uralensis-Caricion ensifoliae (alpine tundra vegetation of the Southern Ural Mountains; class Juncetea trifidi). Two new associations are described within the first two of these alliances. Finally, we present an interpretation of the alliance Muscario-Scillion nivalis.
Med pripravo evropskega seznama vegetacijskih enot (EuroVegChecklist) je postalo jasno, da je potrebno za utrditev nomenklature nekatere zgodnejše opise sintaksonov veljavno tipizirati oziroma opisati nove sintaksone. V članku predlagamo nomenklaturne popravke in formalne opise štirih novih zvez za arktično, alpinsko in oro-mediteransko vegetacijo Evrope, Grenlandije in Anatolije. Najprej smo tipifizirali razred Juncetea trifidi. Kot drugo smo opisali štiri nove zveze: Puccinellion nuttallianae (nizke arktične slane stepe Grenlandije; razred Saxifrago tricuspidatae-Calamagrostietea purpurascentis), Dryado octopetalae-Caricion arctisibiricae (vegetacija arktične tundre severovzhodne evropske Rusije; razred Carici rupestris-Kobresietea bellardii), Leontopodio nivalis-Elynion myosuroidis (vegetacija južno-evropske alpinske tundre; razred Carici rupestris-Kobresietea bellardii) in Lagotido uralensis-Caricion ensifoliae (vegetacija alpinske tundre gorovja južnega Urala; razred Juncetea trifidi). V teh zvezah smo opisali dve novi asociaciji. Na koncu predstavljamo interpretacijo zveze Muscario-Scillion nivalis.
