Description
Summary:Using the Braun-Blanquet approach, a syntaxonomical revision of the order Hyparrhenietalia hirtae in the western Mediterranean region was made. Various syntaxa were studied with relevés from the Iberian Peninsula, southern France, Sardinia, Sicily and adjacent islands, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands and Morocco. One alliance (Hyparrhenion hirtae), 8 associations (one of them new: Lotononido lupinifoliae-Hyparrhenietum sinaicae) and several subassociations and variants were distinguished. A complete classification of the Hyparrhenietalia hirtae in the studied area with ecological and biogeographical diagnoses is given.
