Abstract
Rare plant communities related to so-called Hyssopus assemblage (Hyssopus cretaceus, Artemisia hololeuca), lowered alpine plants (Carex pediformis, Carex humilis, Helianthemum canum), and community of the Pontic steppes (Stipa capillata, S. lessingiana, S. pennata) were revealed in the valley of the river Krasna. Communities of the lowered alpine plants have not been previously observed in this area. The ecocenotic amplitude of the habitats of rare species towards different ecological factors was defined. These biotops require different protection measures; tomilyars should be recognized as a distinct category in the EUNIS, a pan-European classification.
Keywords: rare communities, biotopes, sinphytoindication, tomilyar, Hyssopus assemblage, lowered alpine plants, the river Krasna
