Abstract
In the paper, the association Lolietum multiflorae Dietl et Lehmann 1975 is noted in Croatia for the first time. It has been established at three sites in the northwest part of the country. The community develops mostly on surfaces of sown meadows. This is intensively anthropogenically influenced grassland vegetation which is mown four to six times per year and often manured. In the flora composition, Lolium multiflorum grows as a characteristic and dominant species. Syntaxonomically, the association is assigned to the Arrhenatherion elatioris alliance, to the Arrhenatheretalia order and to the Molinio-Arrhenatheretea class. It is poor in species. Comparison of stands of Lolietum multiflorae from Croatia, Switzerland and Austria shows very similar species composition.
