Annotation

Phalaroides arundinacea - dominated сommunities of small river sources and valleys in the Upper Volga Region correspond to the 2 associations in Braun-Blanquet system: Phalaridetum arundinaceae W. Koch ex Libb. 1931 (class Phragmito-Magnocaricetea Klika 1941, order Magnocaricetalia Pign. 1953, alliance Magnocaricion elatae W. Koch 1926) and Filipendulо-Phalaroidetum (Sambuk 1931) nom. nov. (class Molinio-Arrhenatheretea R. Tx. 1937, order Molinietalia caeruleae W. Koch 1926, alliance Filipendulion Segal 1966). The first of them comprises phytocenoses of damp, wet or periodically flooded habitats on fresh alluvia, whereas the second one is bound to moderately moist ecotopes with richer soils. Communities of the both associations differ from similar coenoses of other regions in low species richness and small areas occupied.
