Abstract
Subalpine Beech Forest with Hairy Alpenrose (Polysticho Lonchitis-Fagetum Rhododendretosum HirsutiSubass. Nova) on Mt. Snežnik (Liburnian Karst, Dinaric Mts)Subalpine beech stands with Hairy Alpenrose (Rhododendron hirsutum) were phytosociologically studied on Mt. Snežnik (Dinaric Mts). They thrived on stony and steep slopes of northern exposure. Comparisons with other subalpine Beech stands (Polysticho lonchitis-Fagetums. lat.), Dinaric Fir-Beech stands with Hairy Alpen-rose (Omphalodo-Fagetums. lat.rhododendretosum hirsuti), and prealpine fir-beech stands with Hairy Alpenrose (Homogyno sylvestris-Fagetums. lat.rhododendretosum hirsuti), stands of Hairy Alpenrose and Beech (Rhododendro hirsuti-Fagetums. lat.), as well as Austrian subalpine beech stands (Saxifrago rotundifoliae-Fagetums. lat.) showed their unique floristical composition due to ecological conditions, and thus distinct syntaxonomical position within the associationPolysticho-Fagetum. Therefore, a new subassociationPolysticho-Fagetum rhododendretosum hirsutisubass. nova was described, and - as differential species for the subassociation -Rhododendron hirsutum, Rubus saxatilis, Rosa pendulina, andClematis alpinawere chosen.
