Aportaciones al conocimiento de los hayedos basófilos cantábricos

Con este trabajo se ha tratado de realizar un análisis de loos hayedos basófilos cantábricos, reconociendo la existencia de dos subalianzas: Scillo-Fagenion Obertodfer 1987 y Cephalanthero-Fagenion R. Tx.1995En la subalianza Scillo-Fagenion Oberdorfer 1957 reconocemos la asociación Caria syvaticae-Fagentum (Rias-Martínez 1964) Carmen Navarro 1981. Dentro de la subasociación Carici sylvatiae-Fagenion Pimpinellotosum sufolia nova.En la subalianza Cephalantero-Fagenion reconocemo la asociación Epiapaenes-Fagentun Br-Bl et Susplugar 1937, en cuyo seno proponemos la subasociación Epipactido helleborines-Fagentum laserpitietosum (nesteli) cliasi nova.En cada sintaxon se señalan los aspectos florísticos, dinámicos, corológicos y ecológicos, indicando los pisos bioclimáticos en que tienen su óptimo desarrollo

Ecological comparative study of the rock-rose scrubs of Madrid, II. Soil-pH seasonal fluctuation

During twao years soil and litter pH of 31 permanent plots grown by several rock-rose scrubs (jarales) of Cistion laurifolii at different dynamic stages have been measured. Acidily records show the existence of important seasonal variations and according to a certain rythm. The different syntaxa are characterized as for this ecological factor and the results for these matorrals are compared with other data of heath-scrubs. Adult jaral-phases tend to decrease soil pH when compared with younger dwarf-scrubs-phases, nevertheless upper soil levels generally remain less acidic. Multivariable analysis do not show preference of t he different syntaxa for a certain soil-pH range.

Likewise a registrer of other species is given, being this the first vegetal contribution to this volcanic island.

The Juniper formations in the Djurdjura (Algerie): an interpretation of the importance of their ecology, dynamics and syntoxonomy in the Kabylian cedar forest as a whole

The authors propose a new phyiosociologic interpretation of Juniperas comniunis subsp. hemisphaerica and Juniperus sabina shrublands in the Djurdjura. They make up two new associations: the Cynosuro balansae-Juniperetun, hemisphaericae and the Daphno oleoidis-Juniperetum sabinae, belonging to the new alliance Lonicero kabylicae-Juniperion hemisphaericae included in the order Querco Cedretalia atlanticae. The ecologic and biogeograpbic value of these communities is analized in a Westem-mediterrancan context as well as their dynamic importance. On this mountain, they correspond to ihe preforested level of cedar forests. For this reason, an attempt to inlerprel Kabylian cedar forests as a whole was made they belong to the new association Senecio perralderlani-Cedretum atlanticae. A diachronic evaluation of changes in native plant communities over a 30 year period is made, in particular as related to the creation of several local structures to protect natural resources.

Brassica oleracea L. distribution and ecology in the Iberian atlantic coasts

The distribution and ecology of Brassica oleracea in the atlantic coasts of Iberian Peninsule are studied. A new association or nitrified maritime cliffs is described: Crithmo-Brassicetum oleraceae. This community has been included in the Alliance Crithmo-Armerion due to the high presence of halophitic species.

11. La homonimia de Carici sylvaticae-Fagetum

El nombre Carici sylvaticae-Fagetum (sylvaticae) (Rivas-Martínez 1965) C. Navarro 1982 [Contribución al estudio de la flora y la vegetación del Duranguesado y la Busturia (Vizcaya): 81-82. Ed. Univ. Complutense, Madrid] fue propuesto para designar los hayedos basófilos de territorios orocantábricos y cántabro-euskaldunes, en sustitución del ilegítimo (Art. 34) Melico (uniflorae)-Fagetum cantabricum Rivas-Martínez 1965 [Anales Inst. Bot. Cavanilles 22: 383].
