Abstract

Through plant geography research into the evergreen macchia vegetation on the island of Murter done in the last ten years, two clearly differentiated alliances inside the class Quercetea ilicis Br.-Bl. 1947 – Quercion ilicis Br.-Bl. (1931) 1936 and Oleo-Ceratonion Br.-Bl. 1936 have been determined. In the alliance Quercion ilicis are the following associations: Myrto-Quercetum ilicis Trinajstić (1976) 1985; Fraxino orni-Quercetum ilicis H-ić (1956) 1958; Ostryo-Quercetum ilicis Trinajstić (1965) 1974 and in the alliance Oleo-Ceratonion the associations of the xerothermal Phoenician juniper macchia – Pistacio lentisci-Juniperetum phoeniceae Trinajstić 1987 and Querco ilicis-Pinetum halepensis Loisel 1971.
Xerothermal Phoenician juniper macchia constitutes a stage of the progression towards the development of evergreen forest vegetation after the termination of anthropogenic impact. It develops in the neglected olive-groves, vineyards, garrigues and rocky pasture lands on the island and the surrounding small islands. A total of 27 phytocenological relevés were made. Relevés were made and analyzed using the classical Braun-Blanquet method.
