Abstract

We maintain a critical attitude towards certain definitions of Code with special regard to characteristic species and binomial nomenclature of forest associations on the basis of floristic composition only. Having studied numerous phytocoenological tables of climatozonal associations in the Eastern-Alpine-Dinaric area, we came to the conclusion that strict persistence on one or two characteristic species by wich the association in phytocoenological sense should be defined, and consequently on merely binomial nomenclature, could lead to emphasized subjectivism with all its negative consequences.
An association should not be defined only by one or two characteristic and differential species. Trinomial nomenclature should be permitted as well, especially on floristic basis or on combined floristic-ecological basis, as hitherto. Ecological nomenclature should be used when a forest association is defined in phytogeographical and in altitudinal terms.
