Abstract

The vegetation gradient analysis along two complex gradients (height above low water level and soil-salinity) has been carried out, and a floristic classification of communities drawn up following the principles of the Braun-Blanquet approach. A new classGlycyrrhizetea glabrae has been established. The remaining communities are classified underMolinio-Arrhenatheretea, Phragmitetea, Bolboschoenetea maritimi andCrypsietea aculeatae. General regularities of variations in vegetation along the flood-plain longitudinal profile are discussed, phytocoenological tables describing the syntaxa established are given.
