Annotation

Classification of the petrophytic steppe communities occurring on unique geomorphological formations of the Southern Urals (Bashkortostan Republik) — palaeoreefs (”shikhans“) have been performed. The plant communities were classified and included into two new associations (Minuartiо krascheninnikovii―Festucetum pseudovinae и Trinio muricatae―Centauretum sibiricae). Ecological, geographical, floristic and phytocoenotic characteristics of the syntaxa are discussed.

Key words: petrophytic steppes, syntaxonomy, class Festuco-Brometea, South Ural
