Armerio rumelicae-Potentillion Micevski 1978 in South-Central Balkan with emphasis on Galičica Mountain vegetation

Renata Ćušterevska

Abstract


The article provides an overview of current knowledge about distribution of perennial grasslands supported by nutrient-poor soils on siliceous bedrocks at elevations characterized by the submediterranean climate of South-Central Balkan Peninsula (Armerio rumelicae-Potentillion). We used our own field data from Galičica Mountain and literature sources to compile a set of vegetation plots that have been stored in a vegetation database, data-mined and analyzed using numerical-analytical tools such as cluster analysis and ordination. Five already known associations, were confirmed as well-defined floristic complexes, while from the floristic composition of our data It was recognized ass. Euphrasio-Plantaginetum holostei Micevski 1994 subass. festucetosum hirtovaginatae subass. nova.
