New contributions on flora and vegetation of northeastern Portugal ultramafic outcrops uri icon

abstract

  • In this work we present some syntaxonomic novelties on the vegetation of the referred ultramafic outcrops focused on three new associations: Jonopsidio abulensis-Sedetum maireani, Armerio daveaui-Agrostietum castellanae and Seseli peixotoani- Avenuletum lusitanicae; in addition, a new nomenclatural combination of an endemic taxon from the Morais massif (Armeria langei subsp. marizii) is proposed. We also clarify the phytocoenotic structure of the Portuguese vegetation series through a simple diagrammatic representation, which is then applied to one unique climatophilous vegetation series present in the ultramafic rocks of northeastern Portugal: Genisto hystricis-Querco rotundifoliae Sigmetum
