Ecological and Syntaxonomic Analysis of the Communities of Glebionis coronaria and G. discolor ( Malvion neglectae ) in the European Mediterranean Area

Nitrophilous communities dominated by and in the European Mediterranean area were studied. The nomenclature was corrected according to the current taxonomy, following the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICPN). The statistical analysis revealed six new associations and one subassociation, with four in Spain, one in Greece, and one in Italy. Additionally, a subassociation of high relevance due to its endemic character was identified. These grasslands exhibit requirements for organic matter and other edaphic nutrients that are closer to those of communities than to those of subsp. . We confirmed the published syntaxon with the rank of suballiance and its subordination to the alliance, and we established the type association for this suballiance. J.
