Syntaxonomic Revision of Plant Communities of the Alliance Cynosurion in the Carpathian Region of Rumania

Abstract
The methods employed by Rumanian authors for determining basic phytocoenological units and subsequent ranking into higher groups differ from those of the Zurich-Montpellier school. Subsequent to the elaboration of pasture communities of the alliance Cynosurion it has become necessary to re-evaluate the communities of the Rumanian Carpathians so that they can be compared with the units of other European regions. On the basis of the floristic-statistical method the multiplicity of communities hitherto published in the Rumanian literature have been rearranged into two principal groups:
(a) Valley pastures, incorporating the associations Lolio-Cynosuretum Tüxen 1937 and Trifolio-Lolietum Krippelova 1967;
(b) Mountain pastures, consisting of the associations Festuco-Agrostie- tum Csüros and Kaptalan 1964 and Agrosti-Festucetum Csürös and Resmeritâ 1960.
Some sub-associations are mentioned in the text and these can be determined from available phytocoenological data. Contrary to the opinions of some Rumanian authors all of the communities which have been reviewed here may be included in the alliance Cynosurion.
