Abstract
The article analyzes communities of saline habitats identified and described using the approach of J. Braun-Blanquet on the southeastern border of Europe. The morphological, ecological, and geographical features of these communities characteristic of this region are summarized on the level of higher syntaxa (classes). The value of the community is considered from an environmental perspective.
