Nomenclatural revision of dry grassland syntaxa of the Central Balkan

Snezana Vukojicic

An extensive survey of the relevant literature of dry grassland communities described for the territory of Serbia allowed us to check the validity and legitimacy of the nomenclature of this vegetation. Nomenclature rules of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature were strictly followed. The syntaxonomic affiliation of communities to higher syntaxa was assessed according to existing syntaxonomic schemes for Serbia and the position determined by the original source. Higher syntaxa followed the synsystem of the so-called “EuroVegChecklist”. We have highlighted problems and some disagreement with the existing classification of dry grassland communities in Europe. A total of 134 dry grassland communities have so far been registered for Serbia. This list of syntaxa may serve for further research of grassland vegetation and its appropriate positioning within a syntaxonomical scheme of Europe.

Introduction It is well accepted that dry grasslands harbour a significant diversity of plant and animal species (VRAHNAKIS et al. 2013). It was recently shown that if habitats with a smaller area are considered, the diversity of grassland communities significantly outperforms the diversity of tropical rain forests (DENGLER et al. 2012, WILSON et al. 2012, DENGLER et al. 2014). Most European dry grassland communities are semi-natural habitats, which have developed over centuries of traditional land use such as mowing, grazing or temporary abandonment of arable fields (POSCHLOD & WALLISDEVRIES 2002, ELLENBERG & LEUSCHNER 2010, VELEV & VASSILEV 2014). However, as a result of economic and land-use changes, dry grasslands Manuscript received 31 January 2014, accepted 02 May 2014 Co-ordinating Editor: Monika Janišová 355 have become threatened in almost every part of Europe. As a consequence dry grasslands are now among the most endangered European habitats (VEEN et al. 2009), while in Serbia they are still in favourable conservation status. Accordingly, most of Europe’s dry grassland types are now listed as priority habitats under the Habitats Directive of the EU (EUROPEAN COMMISSION 2007), e.g., 6120 (Xeric and calcareous grasslands), 6210 (Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates), 6260 (Pannonic sand steppes) and 6240 (Sub-pannonic steppic grasslands). The region of Serbia, as central part of the Balkan Peninsula, represents one of the centres of floristic diversity in Europe, with 39 % of European species thriving on its territory (RADOVIĆ & KOZOMARA 2011). According to HOBOHM & BRUCHMANN (2009), there are more than 6000 endemic species in Europe, whereby grasslands contain almost twice as many endemics as forests. In a review of Balkan endemics in Serbia, TOMOVIĆ (2007) pointed out that grasslands of the class Festuco-Brometea contain 67 % of Balkan endemic species distributed in Serbia. It should be quoted that out of 46 local endemics (“stenoendemics”) determined for Serbia (TOMOVIĆ 2007), 29 appear within grassland vegetation, and among them, more than a half is associated to communities of the Festuco-Brometea, which is characterised by the highest number of critically endangered taxa as well (DAJIĆ STEVANOVIĆ et al. 2010). In many European countries, Festuco-Brometea plant communities are receiving a great deal of attention in relation to conservation management (HEGEDÜŠOVÁ & SENKO 2011). Supranational or even continent-wide classifications of dry grasslands are still rare (VRAHNAKIS et al. 2013). ROYER’s (1991) classification of the class Festuco-Brometea throughout its Eurasian range, based on modern classification methods, should be highlighted. More recently DENGLER (2003) and DENGLER & LÖBEL (2006) published continent-wide reviews of the classes Festuco-Brometea, Koelerio-Corynephoretea and Trifolio-Geranietea sanguinei based on a numerical classification. In addition REDŽIĆ (1999) published a review of Festuco-Brometea in the Balkans, ILLYÉS et al. (2007) of Brachypodietalia pinnati (Festuco-Brometea) in Central Europe and DÚBRAVKOVÁ et al. (2010) of Festuco-Brometea communities in the Western Carpathians and the Northern Pannonian Basin. Phytocoenological studies of the vegetation of Serbia have a long tradition, but the rules of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (WEBER et al. 2000, hereinafter ICPN) have not been strictly followed, and many syntaxa have been invalidly published (AĆIĆ et al. 2013a). Recent developments in vegetation research (databases, large-scale analyses etc., DENGLER et al. 2011) highlight the importance of harmonisation of syntaxonomical schemes that are transboundary and validated according to international rules. According to traditional syntaxonomical schemes, dry grasslands in Serbia were classified within the classes Festuco-Brometea and Festucetea vaginatae (KOJIĆ et al. 2004). In a previous classification according to KOJIĆ et al. (1998), the Balkan orders AstragaloPotentilletalia and Halacsyetalia sendtneri belonged to the separate class Festucetea vaginatae. MUCINA (1997) proposed the unification of all syntaxa into a single class FestucoBrometea, but a recent proposal by MUCINA et al. (in review) divided these syntaxa into the two classes Koelerio-Corynophoretea and Festuco-Brometea. In our analysis we have selected all associations of dry grasslands traditionally classified into Festuco-Brometea according to MUCINA (1997), but we have followed the syntaxonomical system of alliances recently proposed by MUCINA et al. (in review), although we do not entirely agree with it. 356 The geographical position of the Central Balkan is very complex from a phytogeographical point of view. Serbia is part of the Balkan Peninsula and Pannonia, and since this is a transitional region between Mediterranian and Central European zones, the delimitation of higher syntaxa is not always clear (ŠILC et al. 2014). The aim of this study was to check the validity and legitimacy of the existing nomenclature according to the ICPN and to correct and typify syntaxa of dry grasslands traditionally assigned to the classes Festuco-Brometea and Festucetea vaginatae. The syntaxonomical content remains to be studied by numerical classification methods in the future. The present list of syntaxa is a first step towards a consistent syntaxonomical system from this region. 2. Methods The starting point for creating a list of dry grassland communities in the Central Balkan was the vegetation database of grassland vegetation of Serbia (GIVD ID EU-RS-02, AĆIĆ et al. 2012). The study area Central Balkan comprised territory of the Republic of Serbia (with its province Vojvodina in the North, belonging to the Pannonian plain) and territory of Kosovo. An extensive survey of the relevant literature allowed us to check the validity and legitimacy of the nomenclature of dry grassland associations. The nomenclature rules of the ICPN were strictly followed. The affiliation of plant communities to their alliances and higher syntaxa followed the original source and MUCINA et al. (in review), respectively. The nomenclature of plant taxa follows Flora Europaea (FLORA EUROPAEA DATABASE), except for the species Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) Keng., Bromus fibrosus Hack., Echium rubrum Forssk., Koeleria pyramidata subsp. montana (Hausm.) Domin, Nepeta rtanjensis Diklić & Milojević, Potentilla arenaria Borkh. ex G. Gaertn., Potentilla tommasiniana F. W. Schultz, Sedum serpentini Janch., Stachys recta subsp. baldaccii (K. Malý) Hayek, Veronica austriaca subsp. jacquinii (Baumg.) Eb. Fisch and Cytisus procumbens Bojer ex Baker var. petrovicii (Adamović) Diklić. Syntaxa were designated by their orthographically correct form according to ICPN Art. 41. Synonyms of the accepted name include a reference to the article and paragraph of the Code according to which the name must be rejected. The original name is provided in brackets with an indication of the relevant article of ICPN according to which it is invalid. Whenever necessary to avoid a homonymy, the initials of the first author are added. The dates of effective publication of syntaxa were taken from the papers in which they were validly published, regardless of possible different indications reported by the authors in the papers. Doctoral or master theses that are not available in libraries were not considered to be effective publications [Article 1]. In those cases we give a short description of the habitat of the association and a relevé as holotype. Lectotypes were defined for the determination of the correct names for syntaxa not yet typified. The accepted names of associations that contained only the genus name(s) in the original diagnosis were supplemented with species epithets in accordance with Recommendation 10c of the Code. When the name of a syntaxon is published by an author without a sufficient original diagnosis, that syntaxon is not valid according to Article 2b of the Code and is considered to be nomen nudum. According to Article 42 of the Code, nomina inversa are the names of syntaxa in which, as compared with the original diagnosis, the order of the names of taxa has been changed so that the dominant taxon or the taxon of the higher layer is in second place. A ‘phantom name’ is a name that has not been used by the person(s) named in the author citation in the stated source. The ‘cited’ source may even be non-existent. MUCINA (1993) introduced the apt term ‘phantom name’ for such cases. Phantom names are attributions by later authors and do not have any nomenclatural significance.

The alliance ChrysopogonoDanthonion calycinae was published for the fist time by KOJIĆ (1957) and classified within the order Festucetalia valesiacae. However, in a later syntaxonomic revision of the vegetation of Serbia (KOJIĆ et al. 1998, 2004), the alliance was classified within the order Brometalia erecti Br.-Bl. 1936. Different authors have used different concepts: TZONEV et al. (2009) place this alliance in the acidophilous order Koelerio-Phleetalia phleoidis Korneck 1974, BERGMEIER et al. (2009) in the Balkan order Astragalo-Potentilletalia Micevski 1971 and, recently, PEDASHENKO et al. (2013) preliminarily assigned it to Brachypodietalia pinnati (formerly Brometalia erecti). Further research on the syntaxonomic position and distribution of the alliance Chrysopogono-Danthonion calycinae is required.

RANĐELOVIĆ (2002), and RANĐELOVIĆ & ZLATKOVIĆ (2010) later invalidly described a new order Armerietalia rumelicae [Art. 2b, 8] and classified this association into it. This order is a synonym of the order Astragalo-Potentilletalia Micevski 1971. According to our analysis (Aćić et al. unpubl.), this association belongs to the alliance Chrysopogono-Danthonion calycinae, where it was classified originally.

In phytocoenological literature of Serbia and Prodromus phytocoenosum Jugoslaviae (ZUPANČIČ 1986), this alliance is not mentioned for Serbia. Since JOVANOVIĆ-DUNJIĆ (1955) classified the association Potentillo tommasinianaeCaricetum humilis in the alliance Festucion valesiacae, there is a need for further research on the position of this association and the alliance related to the order Stipo pulcherrimaeFestucetalia pallentis. Potentillo tommasinianae-Caricetum humilis Jovanović-Dunjić 1955 Orig.

(2013) typified this association. 1.3.3 Seslerion rigidae Zólyomi 1936 ZÓLYOMI (1939) originally classified the alliance Seslerion rigidae into the alpine class Elyno-Seslerietea Br.-Bl. 1948, while SOÓ (1947) subordinated this alliance to FestucoBrometea. As DENGLER et al. (2012) pointed out, the alliance Seslerion rigidae belongs to the order Stipo pulcherrimae-Festucetalia pallentis and is a geographic vicariant of Diantho lumnitzeri-Seslerion found mainly in the western Carpathians and the Alps (CHYTRÝ 2007). In the phytocoenological literature of Serbia, dealpine xerophilous grasslands of the alliance Seslerion rigidae occurring on calcareous substrates were classified into the class FestucoSeslerietea Barbero et Bonin 1969. Nevertheless, we are of the opinion that, according to the floristic composition, these grasslands should be the part of the class Festuco-Brometea. There is a need for further research on associations of the alliance Seslerion rigidae in Serbia. Cephalario laevigatae-Seselietum rigidae Tatić et Atanacković 1973 Orig.

Seslerietum filifoliae Zólyomi 1939 Note: The association Seslerietum filifoliae Zólyómi 1939 was mentioned for Serbia by NIKETIĆ & LAKUŠIĆ (1988). 1.4 Astragalo-Potentilletalia Micevski 1971 Balkan submediterranean montane steppic grasslands on calcareous substrates of the order Astragalo-Potentilletalia were considered to be part of the class Festucetea vaginatae (KOJIĆ et al. 1998) and were later classified into the Festuco-Brometea class (KOJIĆ et al. 2004). According to MUCINA et al. (in review), the order Festucetalia vaginatae is a syntaxonomical synonym, and therefore all alliances and orders were transferred to the class Koelerio-Corynophoretea. We are of the opinion that, according to their floristic composition, associations of the order Astragalo-Potentilletalia should be part of the class FestucoBrometea. 1.4.1 Saturejo-Thymion Micevski 1971 Echinario capitatae-Convolvuletum althaeoidis Rexhepi ex Aćić et al. ass. nov. hoc loco Syn.: Echinario-Convolvuletum althaeoides Rexhepi 1978 nom. ined.

The association is validly published with one phytocoenological relevé in GREBENŠČIKOV (1950), and according to Art. 18a, that is the holotype of the association. There is a need for further research on the position of this association, in particular within the Balkan alliance Saturejion montanae described by HORVAT et al.

The name Festuca duriuscula in the association Festuco duriusculae-Euphorbietum glabriflorae was applied on the basis of the concept of the genus Festuca published in the Flora of SR Serbia 8 (GAJIĆ 1976: 422). Considering that the above solution was explicitly based on Hackel’s and Markgraf’s concept of the Festuca genus (F. ovina var. duriuscula (L.) Hack. sensu Hackel 1882 (Monographia Festucarum Europearum: 89); F. durisucula L. sensu Markgraf in Hayek 1933 (Prodromus Florae peninsulae Balkanicae 3: 277)), there is no doubt that F. duriuscula from serpentinite of the Western Serbia belongs to the complex of F. ovina and not of F. rubra.

Discussion and conclusion The present work includes a list of all syntaxa of dry grasslands of Serbia based on a literature and relevé database review. A total of 134 dry grassland syntaxa have been described within the studied region, 53 of which were validly published and 65 of which, previously incorrectly typified, were validated. There is a disproportion of the number of syntaxa between the studied region and other countries (CHYTRÝ 2007, BORHIDI et al. 2012, ŠILC & ČARNI 2012). One reason might be that the Balkan, located in a transitional position between different biogeographical regions, is a biodiversity hotspot. The other is that the vegetation was studied very regionally, without taking into account larger areas and larger sets of vegetation relevés. Therefore many regional associations were decribed, but no synthesis was made. The present syntaxonomic scheme of the class Festuco-Brometea is the first attempt of such scope in the studied area based on literature review and a relevé database. We also applied rules of ICPN that were not always followed by researchers in previous times. For some syntaxa we critically highlighted the syntaxonomic problems for further numerical analysis of collected relevé material, which is the next step in the classification of dry grasslands in the Central Balkan. This paper will contribute to the synchronization of plant communities from the Balkan region with the European syntaxonomical system and the EU Habitat list and thus help to assign their legal conservation status, which will bring about the establishment of the Red list of Habitats (BERG et al. 2014). Erweiterte deutsche Zusammenfassung Einleitung – Flora und Vegetation des trockenen Graslands des Balkans umfassen zahlreiche Taxa und Syntaxa mit einem erheblichen Anteil an endemischen Arten; für Serbien und die Klasse Festuco-Brometea wurde dies von DAJIĆ STEVANOVIĆ et al. (2010) gezeigt. Gleichzeitig finden in vielen Ländern Europas besondere Bemühungen zum Erhalt der Gesellschaften der Festuco-Brometea statt (z. B. HEGEDÜŠOVÁ & SENKO 2011). Die Trockenrasen des Zentral-Balkans – darunter verstehen wir hier das Gebiet Serbiens und des Kosovo – wurden bereits mehrfach untersucht (z. B. KOJIĆ et al. 2004). Dabei wurden jedoch die Regeln des internationalen Codes der pflanzensoziologischen Nomenklatur (ICPN) (WEBER et al. 2000) oft nicht strikt befolgt, sodass zahlreiche Syntaxa ungültig publiziert wurden (AĆIĆ et al. 2013a). Das Hauptziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist eine nomenklatorische Validierung der Trockenrasen-Assoziationen der Klassen der Festuco-Brometea und Festucetea vaginatae des Zentral-Balkans nach den Kriterien des ICPN. Ungültig beschriebene Syntaxa werden ggf. korrigiert oder nachträglich typisiert. Methoden – Als Basis für die Erstellung der Liste der Trockenrasengesellschaften des zentralen Balkans diente die Vegetationsdatenbank des Graslands Serbiens (GIVD ID EURS-02, AĆIĆ et al. 2012). Die Zuordnung der Gesellschaften zu Verbänden und höheren Syntaxa richtete sich nach den Originalquellen sowie nach MUCINA et al. (im Review). Die Nomenklaturregeln des ICPN wurden dabei strikt befolgt. Die Nomenklatur der Pflanzenarten richtete sich nach Flora Europaea (FLORA EUROPAEA DATABASE) mit Ausnahme von Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) Keng., Bromus fibrosus Hack., Echium rubrum Forssk., Koeleria pyramidata subsp. montana (Hausm.) Domin, Nepeta rtanjensis Diklić & Milojević, Potentilla arenaria Borkh. ex G. Gaertn., Potentilla tommasiniana F. W. Schultz, Sedum 380 serpentini Janch., Stachys recta subsp. baldaccii (K. Malý) Hayek, Veronica austriaca subsp. jacquinii (Baumg.) Eb. Fisch and Cytisus procumbens Bojer ex Baker var. petrovicii (Adamović) Diklić. Ergebnisse und Diskussion – Insgesamt wurden 134 Trockenrasen-Gesellschaften überprüft; 53 Gesellschaften davon waren bereits gültig publiziert. Zwei Assoziationen wurden umbenannt: das Chrysopogonetum pannonicum in Adonido vernalis-Chrysopogonetum grylli und das Agrostidetum vulgaris in Rhinantho rumelici-Agrostietum capillaris. Die syntaxonomische Stellung mehrerer Trockenrasen-Verbände wird diskutiert. Der von KOJIĆ (1957) publizierte Verband Chrysopogono-Danthonion calycinae z. B. stand anfänglich in der Ordnung der Festucetalia valesiacae und in einer späteren syntaxonomischen Revision der Vegetation Serbiens (KOJIĆ et al. 2004) in der Ordnung der Brometalia erecti Br.-Bl. 1936. Eine weitere Möglichkeit der pflanzensoziologischen Stellung dieses Verbands bildet die Ordnung der Brachypodietalia pinnati (früher Brometalia erecti). Insgesamt erachten wir weitere Untersuchungen der syntaxonomischen Stellung und Verbreitung des Chrysopogono-Danthonion calycinae auf dem Balkan als notwendig. Der Verband des Koelerio-Festucion dalmaticae stand bisher in der balkanischen Ordnung der Astragalo-Potentilletalia. Allerdings wurde der Verband ungültig publiziert, womit sich die Notwendigkeit einer erneuten Klärung seiner syntaxonomischen Stellung und auch der Stellung seiner Assoziationen ergibt. Entsprechend der derzeit gebräuchlichen syntaxonomischen Gliederung der Vegetation Serbiens (KOJIĆ et al. 1998, 2004) rechnen wir die submediterran-kontinental-geprägten Silikat-Therophytenrasen des Scabioso-Trifolion dalmatici zur balkanischen Ordnung der Astragalo-Potentilletalia innerhalb der Klasse der Festucetea vaginatae. Eine floristische Analyse zeigte jedoch, dass der Verband Scabioso-Trifolion dalmatici zahlreiche typische Festuco-Brometea-Arten enthält und daher auch zur Klasse Festuco-Brometea gestellt werden könnte (AĆIĆ et al. in Vorbereitung). Der balkanische Verband Saturejion montanae wurde in der pflanzensoziologischen Literatur Serbiens sowie auch im Prodromus phytocoenosum Jugoslaviae (ZUPANČIČ et al. 1986) bisher noch nicht beachtet. Aktuelle Ergebnisse zeigen jedoch, dass aus Ost-Serbien beschriebene Gesellschaften des Verbands Festucion valesiacae wohl zum Saturejion montanae gehören. Nach neuen Untersuchungen gibt es mit dem Festucion sulcatae nur (noch) einen Verband der subkontinentalen Steppenrasen (z. B. MUCINA et al. im Review). Da sich in Serbien jedoch die floristische Zusammensetzung der Assoziationen der Verbände des Festucion rupicolae und Festucion valesiacae stark unterscheidet, sind wir der Meinung, dass die beiden Verbände als Unterverbände berücksichtigt werden sollten, wie es auch BORHIDI et al. (2012) vorgeschlagen haben. Dealpines, xerophytisches Grasland auf kalkreichem Untergrund wurde in Serbien bisher als Seslerion rigidae innerhalb der Klasse Festuco-Seslerietea klassifiziert. Wir sind jedoch von der floristischen Zusammensetzung der Bestände her der Überzeugung, dass die Gesellschaften in die Klasse der Festuco-Brometea gestellt werden sollten. Steppenrasen auf sandigem Untergrund werden in Serbien traditionell in die Klasse der Festucetea vaginatae gestellt. Kürzlich wurde allerdings vorgeschlagen, sie innerhalb der Koelerio-Corynophoretea zu klassifizieren (MUCINA et al. im Review). Unsere Untersuchung zeigt dagegen deutlich floristische Ähnlichkeiten zwischen den serbischen Beständen 381 des Festucion vaginatae und den pannonischen Beständen des Festucion rupicolae, was für einen Anschluss der serbischen Sand-Steppenrasen an die Klasse der Festuco-Brometea spricht. Die Ordnung Halacsyetalia sendtneri wurde von KOJIĆ et al. (1998) zuerst in die Klasse der Festucetea vaginatae gestellt und später die Assoziationen den Festuco-Brometea angeschlossen (KOJIĆ et al. 2004). Wie MUCINA et al. (im Review) deutlich machen, sind die Festucetalia vaginatae aber ein syntaxonomisches Synonym, sodass ihre Verbände und Ordnungen in die Klasse Koelerio-Corynophoretea übertragen werden können. Wir sind dagegen der Meinung, dass die Ordnung Halacsyetalia sendtneri in die Klasse der FestucoBrometea gestellt werden sollte. Die hier präsentierten Ergebnisse könnten zu einem Abgleich der serbischen Pflanzengesellschaften mit den EU-Habitattypen führen und auf diese Weise ihren gesetzlichen Schutzstatus ermöglichen oder auch die Erstellung einer Roten Liste der TrockenrasenGesellschaften Serbiens erlauben.
