Phytosociological analysis of the Genista sp. pl. garrigues of the Cisto-Lavanduletea and Rosmarineteaofficinalis classes in the South-Tyrrhenian area (Mediterranean Region)

subject

description

The study reviews the Genista sp. pl. garrigues ascribable to the classes Cisto-Lavanduletea (acidophilous communities on volcanics and quartzarenites) and Rosmarineteaofficinalis (basiphilous communities on calcareous and calcareous-dolomite substrates), in the southern territories of the Italo-Tyrrhenian Province. The floristic-synecological characterization of the identified coenoses led to the description and/or redefinition of various new syntaxa. They are distributed in the two new suballiances Calicotomovillosae–Genisteniontyrrhenae and Genistoaristatae–Calicotomenioninfestae of the class Cisto-Lavanduletea (Lavanduletaliastoechadis and Calicotomovillosae–Genistiontyrrhenae), and in the alliance Cistoeriocephali–Ericionmultiflorae of the class Rosmarineteaofficinalis (Rosmarinetaliaofficinalis), with two new described associations.
