cte04 | The communities of the Leprarietalia nivalis are less hygrophytic and more ombrophobic than those of the other orders of the Ctenidietea. Roux et al. (2009) considered the order Leprarietalia nivalis as a case of incertae sedis. It is here tentatively placed in the Ctenidietea. Relevés with bryophytes and lichens are needed to clarify the positon of the order here or if a new class has to be described. (H. Bültmann).
