mug01 | In order to accommodate krummholz scrub dominated by Pinus mugo (typical of the subalpine belt of the central and south European nemoral mountain ranges) and motivated by the structural differences between the krummholz scrub and boreal forests, Theurillat et al. (1995: 228) described the Roso pendulinae-Pinetea mugo (containing the Junipero-Pinetalia mugo Boşcaiu 1971). (LM) The Roso-Pinetea has been recently accepted also for the Carpathian (Šibík et al. 2005, 2008) and the Balkan (Redžić 2007) vegetation. (J.-P. Theurillat, L. Mucina) An alternative suggestion is to accommodate this syntaxonomic content of this unit within the Loiseleurio-Vaccinietea. (N. Ermakov).
