<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The phytosociological research of the oak forest vegetation was carried out in the northern part of the Štiavnické vrchy Mts (Central Slovakia) using the standard Zürich-Montpellier approach. The data set consisting of 41 phytosociological relevés was obtained by the authors in two vegetation seasons in 2008 and 2009. The numerical classification and the ordination methods were applied to determine the main vegetation types and to explain the structure of the vegetation-environmental data matrix, respectively. Four associations within two classes were distinguished: <italic>Luzulo albidae-Quercetum petraeae</italic> Hilitzer 1932, typical for shallow, mineral-poor and acidic soils, <italic>Melico uniflorae-Quercetum petraeae</italic> Gergely 1962 occuring on mesic stands with skeletal and deeper soils, <italic>Poo nemoralis-Quercetum dalechampii</italic> Šomšák et Háberová 1979 developing on moderately canopyopened stands in the submontane belt, <italic>Sorbo torminalis-Quercetum</italic> Svoboda ex Blažková 1962 growing on moderately acidic substrates in drier regions. The major environmental gradients responsible for variation in forest species composition was associated with soil nutrient and soil reaction following the Ellenberg indicator values as well as the measured environmental variables (C/N-ratio and soil acidity). Special attention was given to the discussion on species composition and site ecology.</abstract>

Oak forest vegetation in the northern part of the Štiavnické vrchy Mts (Central Slovakia)

<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Historical and current occurrence of the obligate halophyte <italic>Pholiurus pannonicus</italic> was studied in Slovakia during the period 2003-2009. The species had been occurring in the Podunajská nížina Lowland and the Východoslovenská nížina Lowland; 30 localities were found in total. Recently the number of localities has decreased markedly and the species was confirmed only in the Podunajská nížina Lowland. We documented only seven localities during the study. Therefore, we confirmed that <italic>Pholiurus pannonicus</italic> belongs to the critically endangered plants of Slovak flora.</abstract>

Revision of Historical and Current Distribution of <italic>Pholiurus Pannonicus</italic> (Host.) Trin. in Slovakia

<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The vegetation of mesic grasslands distributed in the central part of Western Bulgaria is studied. A significant number of 533 relevés were made following the Braun-Blanquet approach. Classification and ordination of the vegetation was performed. The vegetation is classified up to alliance level. The result of the classification are four groups which correspond to the alliances <italic>Arrhenatherion elatioris, Cynosurion cristati</italic> and <italic>Trifolion medii.</italic> Within <italic>Cynosurion</italic> alliance two well distinct subgroups are observed, differing in moisture of the substrate - provisionally called "wet" and "dry" <italic>Cynosurion.</italic> Ellenberg Indicator Values are used for assessment of ecology of the habitats. The pasture/mowing management of the studied vegetation types is commented.</abstract>

<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">We describe localities and sites of <italic>Orobanche pancicii</italic>, a new species of the Slovenian flora.

<italic>Orobanche Pancicii</italic> Beck, a New Species to the Flora of Slovenia

<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">A syntaxonomical analysis of the dry grasslands (<italic>Festuco-Brometea</italic>) in Bosnek karst region, Mt Vitosha (SW Bulgaria) has been carried out. These grasslands are part of the intrazonal vegetation distributed within the belts of xerophilous oak and mesophilous beech forest in the south-western foothills of the mountain. The bedrock is carbonate, the soils are dry and shallow, climate - moderate continental. This vegetation grows mostly on steep slopes, with southern and south-western exposition. Apart from the typical for <italic>Festuco-Brometea</italic> calcicoles, the studied vegetation is characterized by many endemic (regional and local) species and at the same time includes a lot of Mediterranean species. As a result of the analysis, a new association, <italic>Bromo moesiacae-Stipetum epilosae</italic> ass. nova, has been established that belongs to the alliance <italic>Saturejon montanae</italic>. A comparison with related syntaxa from other karst mountains from SW Bulgaria and E Serbia is made, and some conclusions about the origin of the steppe vegetation in that region are drawn.</abstract>
