"VEGETATION MAP OF THE NORTHERN SLOPE OF THE VLĂDEASA MOUNTAIN (APUSENI MOUNTAINS, ROMANIA)"

Abstract

The present vegetation study was elaborated on the basis of geo-referenced phytocoenological relevés carried out in 2007–2010 on the northern slope of the Vlădeasa Mountain. 150 representative relevés for the woody and herbaceous vegetation were selected from a total of 387. These were grouped in 16 plant associations, based on their coenotic affinity and ecological requirements, and represented in a large-scale vegetation map. Of these, six scrub and forest associations were grouped in the class Vaccinio-Picetea and four forest associations in the class Carpino-Fagetea. Among the six herbaceous associations included in the classes Nardetea strictae and Molinio-Arrhenatheretea, only the association Potentillo aureae-Festucetum supinae has a primary character.
