A review of Potentillo ternatae-Nardion strictae alliance
Keywords:
grasslands, nomen novum, nomenclature, numerical methods, syntaxonomyAbstract
A classification of the Nardus stricta dominated communities in the Balkan Range is presented. Two associations are identified: Nardetum strictae and Campanulo alpinae – Nardetum strictae nom. nov. The alliance Potentillo ternatae – Nardion strictae is typified and some comments on its distribution range and syntaxonomical affiliation to the higher units are presented. A synopsis is included of all available associations referred to Potentillo ternatae – Nardion strictae.
