“…The clade “ Aspicilion intermutantis ” includes lichen communities on slightly acidic to neutral siliceous rocks and differ from other clades, especially from “ Parmelion conspersae s. l.” and “ Umbilicarion cylindricae s.l.” (Figure 2) which are widespread in Central Europe and include lichen communities on acidic siliceous rocks in Europe. Recently, the order Rinodino confragosae–Rusavskietalia elegantis Creveld in Bültmann et al (2015) was validated. It includes subnitrophilous lichen communities on subacidic siliceous rocks and acidic rocks irrigated by calcium‐rich water.…”

“…In accordance with their physiognomic and ecological peculiarities, Clusters 4 and 5 should be assigned to the class Collematetea cristati Wirth 1980 which includes communities of jelly lichens on calcareous or base–rich siliceous rocks in fissures and in rain tracks temporarily watered by seepage or trickling waters (Mucina et al, 2016). On base‐rich siliceous rock in the Mediterranean and warm areas of Central Europe the Peltuletalia euplocae Morena et Egea ex Egea in Bültmann et al 2015 (Bültman et al, 2015) class has been described with one alliance, Peltulion euplocae Llimona et Egea 1984 (Limona and Egea, 1985). Lichen communities in Clusters 4 and 5 have an original species composition and ecological preferences (water tracks and submerged neutral and calcifilous siliceous rocks irrigated by euthrophical water in lowland regions of Central and especially in East Europe).…”

“…Lichen communities on siliceous rocks mainly fit into the recent syntaxonomical schemes (Bültmann et al, 2015; Mucina et al, 2016) although in general there are few publications on this topic in modern phytosociology. However, studies of lichen communities on siliceous rocks started in the early 1920s (Frey, 1923; Hilitzer, 1925; Oxner, 1927), testing both Braun‐Blanquet's floristic and Sukachov's dominant classification.…”

Questions: How many different silicicolous lichen syntaxa occur on the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield and what ecological factors are influencing their distribution? Location: Ukrainian Crystalline Shield, Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones, Ukraine. Methods:The field research was performed during 2013-2020. Analysis was done with the JUICE software using agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis in the integrated PC-Ord with data transformation, pseudospecies cut levels 0-5-25, distance measure -Jaccard, group linkage -Ward's method. For the ordination of the plots we used detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) with the "envfit" function, implemented in the R package vegan. As environmental variables we used mean indicator values obtained for each species from the ITALIC database. A generalized synoptic table, which combined both our own and literature data, was clustered using Euclidean distances and the Ward error sum of squares hierarchical clustering method with Ward's criterion. Results: Seven clusters were obtained after JUICE analysis based on 197 relevés of lichen communities that included 119 lichen species. The main axis in both DCA and NMDS ordination is similar to the vector of substrate pH value. Communities on overhanging surfaces are acidophilous. Communities of water tracks are moderately basophilous to basophilous. Other communities included relevés on different granite characterized as mainly neutrophilous. Lichen communities on siliceous rocks of the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield are assigned to the classes Rhizocarpetea geographici, Leprarietea chlorinae, and Collematetea cristati. Two new alliances (Aspicilion intermutantis and Staurothelion frustulentae), four new associations and three subassociation are described. Conclusion: Silicicolous lichen communities of the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield differ from the known units of Central Europe by species composition, where lichens with arid ecology are present. Their local distribution depends mainly on a combination of substrate pH, degree of eutrophication, protection from rain, and substrate moisture.

“…При классификации они могут рассматриваться в качестве самостоятельных сообществ, синтаксономически независимых от фитоценозов, в пространстве которых они развиты. Такой подход, в частности, свойствен геоботанической школе Ж. Браун Бланке (Barkman, 1958), достигшей высокой степени детальности при создании синтаксономической системы как эпилитно-, так и эпифитно-моховой растительности (Marstaller, 2006;Bültmann et al, 2015;Mucina et al, 2016). В то же время при классификации лесных сообществ в целом эпифитные и эпиксильные мохообразные обычно упоминаются лишь как сопутствующие виды, не играющие какой-либо диагностической роли.…”

Эпифитные и эпиксильные виды мохообразных и лишайников могут выступать в качестве диагностических не только при дифференциации своих синузий, но и на уровне лесного сообщества в целом, формируя единые детерминантные группы вместе с сосудистыми растениями и эпигейными мхами. Это подтверждают результаты доминантно-детерминантной классификации широколиственных лесов, описанных в заповедниках «Калужские засеки» и «Мордовский». В обоих случаях выделенные синтаксоны поддаются флористической дифференциации с помощью не только сосудистых растений, но и эпифитных мохообразных. При необходимости их можно было бы разграничить исключительно по видам эпифитной бриосинузии. Формирование единых детерминантных групп обусловлено влиянием факторов, единообразно воздействующих на все виды, входящие в эти группы. Первостепенную роль предположительно играют микроклиматические факторы, особенно влажность и амплитуды температур приземного слоя воздуха. Эдафические факторы не оказывают прямого влияния на сопряженность видов сосудистых растений и эпифитных мохообразных, но их косвенное влияние также может быть существенным. Piphytic and epixylic species of bryophytes and lichens may serve as determinants in differentiation of not only their synusiae but also at the level of forest plant communities where they grow, forming integrated differential groups together with vascular plant and epigeic bryophyte species. This is proved by the results of the broadleaved forest classification, performed following the complex dominant-determinant approach in the Kaluzhskie Zaseki (see Table 1) and Mordovian (see Table 2) nature reserves, Russia. All the recognized broadleaved-forest syntaxa are subject to distinct floristic differentiation with the help of both vascular and epiphytic bryophyte species under ecologically contrasting habitat conditions. Moreover, if necessary, these syntaxa can be distinguished using the epiphytic species only. The ecological and phytocoenotical association of vascular and epiphytic bryophyte species presumably originates due to microclimatic factors such as air humidity and temperature ranges near the ground. Edaphic factors do not influence the association of vasculars and epiphytic bryophytes within the integrated determinant groups directly, but their indirect influence may be also essential.
