Subalpine tall-forb vegetation (Mulgedio-Aconitetea) in the Czech Republic: syntaxonomical revision

Phytosociological synthesis of the subalpine tall-forb vegetation of the Czech Republic was performed using the Braun-Blanquet approach. Analysis of ca 800 relevés collected from the published literature and newly recorded in the field was carried out. Sixteen associations are distinguished, their species composition is documented in a synoptic table and brief comments on their ecology and distribution are given. These associations are assigned to the orders Calamagrostietalia villosae (alliances Calamagrostion villosae and Calamagrostion arundinaceae), Alnetalia viridis (alliance Salicion silesiacae), and Adenostyletalia (alliances Adenostylion and Dryopterido-Athyrion distentifolii).
