Abstract

We conducted a phytosociological study of dwarf pine stands on torrential fans and glacial material (moraine, till) in cirques of several Alpine valleys (Tolminka, Možnica) and on steep, shady erosion slopes (Struje above the Zadlaščica valley) in the belt of montane beech forests in the Julian Alps. Based on comparisons with similar communities in northern Italy we classified these stands into the association Amelanchiero-Pinetum mugo and into the new geographical variant with Rhamnus fallax. Floristically slightly similar dwarf pine stands in the altimontane and subalpine belts on sunny slopes of the Tolmin-Bohinj Mts. are classified into the new variant Rhodothamno-Pinetum mugo typicum var. Genista radiata.
