Using successional system of Stachyo sylvaticae-Tilietum cordatae association as a case study, the possibilities are considered of applying syntaxonomy as developed on the basis of floristic classification principles. Characteristics of restorative successions on cut-over lands have been analysed at strong and weak disturbance of soil cover as well as in plantings of coenotically weak species Pinus sylvestris and coenotically strong species Picea obovata. High self-restoring potential of the association studied is emphasised.

Nitrophilous communities dominated by and in the European Mediterranean area were studied. The nomenclature was corrected according to the current taxonomy, following the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICPN). The statistical analysis revealed six new associations and one subassociation, with four in Spain, one in Greece, and one in Italy.

Soil is a unique ecosystem with peculiar biodiversity that includes cyanobacteria and algae. Traditionally, cyanobacterial and algal cenoses were described mainly using the dominance approach, rarely based on the Braun-Blanquet method (floristic classification). More importantly, in both cases, the species of cyanobacteria and algae in communities were identified using classical methods (light microscopy) only.

Aquatic vegetation is a reliable indicator of the ecological condition of surface waters. Abundance, composition and spatial structure of aquatic communities are shaped by an array of factors, which include both natural abiotic features of an ecosystem and external influences. We investigated whether the physical features, i.

Detrended correspondent analysis is used for constructing an ecological ordination model of higher units of steppe vegetation in southern mountains of Middle Siberia. The model is based on 326 complete geobotanical descriptions and correlation analysis between the values of major axes and climatic, soil-ground, and geographical parameters. In the space of two first principal ordination axes, ecological series of steppe vegetation coenofloras are observed which are orientated along climatic factors of annual and seasonal precipitation, temperature, oceanity-continentality, and ground stoniness.
