Distribution and communities of Suaeda pannonica in Serbia

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: In this article are presented data referring to the distribution and phytocoenology of Suaeda pannonica in Serbia. Between the years 2009 and 2013 we confirmed this species on four localities from the total of about 10 its known sites. It was found on the banks and bottoms of salt lakes Medura, Slano Kopovo, Rusanda and Okanj in Bačka and Banat. We also recorded 25 phytosociological relevés with S. pannonica. Besides community Suaedetum pannonicae the species occurs in other associations within the class Thero-Suaedetea, alliance Salicornion prostratae: Salicornietum prostratae, Crypsido-Suaedetum maritimae and in a separate cluster, i. e. combination of species Suaeda pannonica - Chenopodium chenopodioides which syntaxonomical character is unresolved. In comparison with previously published data, recent situation indicates gradual vegetation changes and habitat loss at all remaining localities of S. pannonica in Serbia.
