Abstract

The evidence for the placement of the Caucasian alliance of alpine meadows artd heaths Alchemillo caucasicae-Campanulion tridentatae among the West-European higher rank syntaxa Juncetea trifidi and Caricetalia curvulae is provided. Alternative points of view-a separate class introduction especially for these communities or their attribution to other existing syntaxa-are worse established.
