Alpine vegetation of the Králický Sněžník Mts. (The Sudeten Mts.)

The paper gives a brief survey of plant communities occurring above the timberline on the periphery of the K. Sněžník Mts. (part of the E. Sudeten Mts.). Their relationships to wind exposition and snow conditions are given. K. Snežník Mt. has a well developed top phenomenon but badly developed corie with rare avalanches which is the main reason for the absence of some communities. The syntaxonomic relationships of individual communities are briefly discussed.
