Annotation

The authors distinguish two variants of syntaxonomical analysis. The first one is a classical analysis with creation the complete syntaxonomical hierarchy. The second variant is non-classical analysis based on the “deductive” method of vegetation classification by K. Kopečky and S. Hejny. It has the reduced syntaxonomical hierarchy. The principal ways in making syntaxonomical decisions on classical analysis are formulized as follows: classical dichotomy, the usage of absence criteria, overlapping of diagnostic combinations, and etc. The rules for distinguishing of basal and derivate plant communities which have the transitional features, referring them to one or two higher units, are formulated. It is emphasized that the “deductive” method is the most acceptable for classification of synanthropic serial vegetation with low species richness.
