Classification phytosociologique européenne (Eurovegchecklist, 2016)

Diagnose

Vegetation of sandy-gravely siliceous alluvia dominated by arctic-alpine elements in alpine belt of the Alps

Remarques

her01 : This is a particular alpine syntaxon of open vegetation occupying only small linear patches in ecotones spanning the wetlands of the Montio-Cardaminetea, alpine fens of the Caricion fuscae and the Salicion herbaceae snow beds in the alpine belt of the Alps on siliceous bedrocks. Ecologically it is equivalent to the neutral-basiphilous Caricion atrofusco-saxatilis Nordhagen 1943. This syntaxon was recognised as being different from the Salicion herbaceae also by Englisch (1999) and Steiner (2002). (JPT, LM).
