Abstract

The Major Highlands of Abruzzo is one of the largest and best preserved areas with marsh vegetation in the Apennines. Fairly well known similar plant systems extend from the Umbrian-Marche Apennines to those of the Matese. The marshy and wet vegetation of the large sedge vegetation (Magnocaricetalia) of the “Major Highlands of Abruzzo” is analysed. Other ecotonal or transitional plant communities mainly characterised by smaller sedges are also included in this study. Fifteen vegetation types have been identified, belonging to the following higher syntaxa: (1) Magnocaricetalia (Caricetum gracilis, Caricetum vulpinae, Caricetum vesicariae, Galio palustris-Caricetum buxbaumii ass. nova, Caricetum ripariae, Caricetum distichae, and Caricetum paniculatae); (2) Caricetalia davallianae (Carex fusca community); (3) Eleocharito palustris-Sagittarion sagittifoliae (Eleocharitetum palustris); (4) Potentillion anserinae (Carex panicea and C. tomentosa communities, Ranunculo repentis-Caricetum divisae ass. nova, and Ranunculo acri-Caricetum hirtae); (5) Cynosurion cristati (Carex leporina and C. spicata communities). Nine of these communities are new for the investigated area and seven of them are new for the Abruzzo region. Several of the associations are very rare in Central and Southern Apennines and many endangered plant species are linked to them. Nevertheless, these vegetation types are not sufficiently protected today, especially those outside the National Parks.

摘要

阿布鲁佐的主要高地是亚平宁山脉最大，保存最完好的沼泽植物之一。众所周知的类似植物系统从Umbrian-Marche Apennines延伸到Matese的植物系统。分析了“阿布鲁佐（Abruzzo）的主要高地”的大型莎草（Magnocaricetalia）的湿软植被。本研究还包括其他主要以莎草为特征的生态或过渡植物群落。十五植被类型已经确定，属于以下更高syntaxa：（1）Magnocaricetalia（Caricetum眼虫，Caricetum vulpinae，Caricetum vesicariae，Galio沼泽-Caricetum buxbaumii屁股。新星，Caricetum ripariae，Caricetum distichae和Caricetum paniculatae）；（2）Caricetalia davallianae（Carex fusca群落）；（3）Eleocharito palustris-Sagittarion sagittifoliae（Eleocharitetum palustris）; （4）委陵菜（Carex aniceinae）（Carex panicea和C. tomentosa群落，Ranunculo repentis-Caricetum divisae ass nova和Ranunculo acri-Caricetum hirtae）；（5）猪sur亚目（Carex leporina和C. spicata社区）。这些社区中有9个是新的地区，其中7个是阿布鲁佐地区的新社区。其中一些协会在亚平宁山脉中部和南部非常罕见，许多濒临灭绝的植物物种与它们相关。然而，这些植被类型今天没有得到足够的保护，尤其是国家公园以外的植被。
