Wetland vegetation of the class Phragmito-Magno-Caricetea in centralItaly

Abstract

A survey and a formalized phytosociological classifi cation of the marsh vegetation of the class Phragmito-Magno-Caricetea in central Italy is presented. Formal defi nitions of the majority of wetland associations recorded from the Italian territory were defi ned using the Cocktail method and applied to a large data set of vegetation plots extracted from the database VegItaly (hosted by the web database system "anArchive"). A total of 43 associations belonging to seven alliances and four orders were recognized. Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA), species indicator values and altitude were used to visualize ecological differences between the associations. Altitude, nutrient status and soil reaction were identifi ed as the main environmental gradients responsible for diversifi cation and distribution of the Phragmito-Magno-Caricetea communities in central Italy.

Syntaxonomical analysis of the riparian vegetation of thePorsuk River (Eskişehir-Kütahya/Turkey)

“…In the research area, it has been identified in shallow muddy edges of the water bodies of the Porsuk Dam environs, near Kızılinler, Kıranharmanı, and Sazak Station, between 692 and 833 m. In the study area, many species were found to cooccur with Typhetum latifoliae, but none constantly. Similar Typha latifolia-dominated stands have been recorded in the Lower Volga Valley (Golub et al, 1991), the Marmara Region and Turkey in general Leblebici, 1996, 1997), and across Europe and the Mediterranean (e.g., Minot et al, 2000;Hanáková and Duchoslav, 2002;Otáhelóvá, 2005;Stančić, 2007Stančić, , 2010Bonanno and Lo Giudice, 2009;Lastrucci et al, 2010;Hrivnák et al, 2011;Lastrucci et al, 2012;Landucci et al, 2013).…”

“…While this appears to be the first record of the association in Turkey, it is by no means rare in southern Europe according to the literature (Jasprica et al, 2003;Stančić, 2007;Bonanno and Lo Giudice, 2009;Lastrucci et al, 2010Lastrucci et al, , 2012Landucci et al, 2013). Most authors assigned Cyperetum longi to the Magnocaricetalia sedge bed vegetation of Phragmito-Magnocaricetea.…”

“…It occurs with high cover in constantly but shallowly inundated habitats. In Turkey, records are known from Thrace (Seçmen and Leblebici, 1991) and Erçek, Turna, and Bostaniçi lakes (Behçet, 1994b), and further into Mediterranean and temperate Europe (e.g., Minot et al, 2000, Bonanno andLo Giudice, 2009;Lastrucci et al, 2010Lastrucci et al, , 2014Landucci et al, 2013). .…”

“…The syntaxa were identified by comparison with literature (Seçmen and Leblebici, 1997;Poldini et al, 2011;Dakskobler and Rozman, 2013;Landucci et al, 2013;Lastrucci et al, 2014). The nomenclature of higher syntaxa follows Mucina et al (2016); the nomenclatural correctness of plant associations was taken from secondary literature and was not verified.…”

Vaskularna Flora Akvatičnih I Vlažnih Staništa Uz Glacijalna Jezera U Nacionalnom Parku Sutjeska (Republika Srpska, Bosna I Hercegovina)

“…Pri tome su koordinate svih polja pridružene koordinatama fitocenološkog snimka koji je najbogatiji vrstama, u WGS 1984 koordinatnom sistemu. U prikazu istraživanih lokaliteta (Tabela 1) geografske koordinate i naziv glacijalnog jezera prate i preliminarni nazivi zabilježenih fitocenoza na nivou asocijacije ili sveze, čija je nomenklatura usklađena prema više izvora (Horvat et al, 1974;Lakušić et al, 1978;Martinčić, 1994;Školek, 2003;Landucci et al, 2013;Mucina et al, 2016). Fitocenoze su poredane tako da prate gradijent vlažnosti, od akvatičnih submerznih, preko emerznih do vlažnih terestričnih, čime se dobija uvid u zoniranje vegetacije okoline pojedinih jezera (Tabela 1).…”
