art02 | This vegetation comprises semi-anthropogenic (semi-ruderal) herb-rich grassland communities derived through processes of overuse (uncontrolled grazing and trampling, leading to disturbance of soil surface) of the steppe communities of the Festuco-Brometea. Mirkin et al. (1986) ineffectively and Ishbirdin et al. (1988) effectively described the Polygono avicularis-Artemisietalia austriacae from Bashkortostan. This syntaxonomic concept is supposed to apply to similar vegetation in other regions of the steppe zone of southeastern Ukraine, Southern Russia and Northern Kazakhstan. (L. Mucina).
