Description
Summary:This paper deals with the syntaxonomy and ecology of debris, scree and alluvium vegetation of the Ammassalik district, Southeast Greenland, on more or less moist soil. The Oxyria digyna- and Chamaenerion latifoliumvegetation types are classified as Saxifrago-Oxyrietum digynae (Böcher 1933 ap. Nordh. 1943) Gjaerevoll 1950 respectively Chamaenerietum latifolii Böcher 1933 in the class Thlaspietea rotundifolii Br.-BI. ap. Br.-BI. et al. 1947. The chionophytic Saxifrago-Oxyrietum digynae and the Chamaenerietum latifolii occurring on river-banks are classified in the alliance Saxifrago stellaris-Oxyrion digynae Gjaerevoll 1950. This alliance belongs to the order Androsacetalia alpinae Br.-BI. ap. Br.-BI. & Jenny 1926, Thlaspietea rotundifolii Br.-BI. ap. Br.-BI. et al. 1947. The following syntaxa are described as new: Saxifrago-Oxyrietum digynae stellarietosum humifusae and typicum with two variants and one variant of the subassociation inops De Molenaar 1976, and the Chamaenerietum latifolii typicum with two variants and salicetosum herbaceae with three variants.
