Agropyretalia pungentis Géhu 1968
jun05 | The syntaxonomic content of this unit is very contentious as it had been classified as a class in its own right (Agropyretea pungentis: Géhu 1968) or recognised only as an alliance (Elytrigion athericae), classified into the 'Elytrigietalia repentis' and the Artemisietea vulgaris (Rivas-Martínez et al. 2002b: 473). The latter suggestion is more difficult to follow than the former. (L. Mucina) According to K. Dierssen this order is weakly differentiated and would be better included within the 'Glauco-Puccinellietalia' (recte: Puccinellio maritimae-Salicornietalia).
