1 Analele ştiinţifice ale Universităţii Al. I. Cuza Iaşi Tomul L, s. II a. Biologie vegetală, 24 THE ASSOCIATION ANTHOXANTHO-AGROSTETUM CAPILLARIS SILLINGER 1933, FROM THE RIVER SUCEAVA BASIN C. V. TOMESCU *, T. CHIFU ** Abstract: According to the researches carried out between 22-23, in some regions of the river Suceava basin were identified and studied phytocoenoses of the association Anthoxantho-Agrostetum capillaris Sillinger They were analysed in terms of their structure and composition as well as according to the spectres of their bioforms, to the phytogeographic elements or H. Ellenberg s ecological indexes. The resulting distributions are similar to those of other studies regarding phytocoenoses of the same association. Mention must be made of the hemicryptophite character of the flora, as well as of the prevalance and the European elements. Key words: Surveys, abundance-dominance, hemicryptophites, amphitolerant species, pastoral value. This association was noticed and described for the first time in the basin of the river Suceava by M. Răvăruţ et al. [15] by the name of Anthoxanthum odoratum association, being localized in the village Gura Putnei comuna Putna. Subsequently it was identified by D. Mititelu et al. [13] and T. Chifu and N. Ştefan [Chifu T. et al., 1988], in a few other places in the same basin. Our researches between led to the identification of this association in numerous stations. Here we only selected the most representative surveys. The phytocoenoses of this association occupy flat or almost flat plots of land (table I), with an inclination of 1 degrees, at an altitude of 65-8 m. The predominant exposition is southern and eastern, and the arborescent layer covers 8-1 % of the surfaces. The phytocoenoses of this association comprise a relatively great number of species (118 species), depending mainly on the trophicity and humidity of the soil. The average of the number of species in each survey around 47 species. The caracteristic species Anthoxanthum odoratum, although not presenting an extreme value of abundance-dominance, does nevertheless have maximum constancy. As far as the flora is concerned, over 55% of the species belong to the cenotaxonomic unities of the class of Molinio-Arrhenatheretea. In warmer and drier stations, one can also find species that are characteristic to the class of Festuco-Brometea (18 species). * Ştefan cel Mare University, Faculty of Forestry, Suceava, Romania ** Al.

The spectre of the bioforms of the association Anthoxantho-Agrostetum capillaris Sillinger 1933 Mention must be made of the important participation of geophyte species as well (1.26 %), along with the terophytes and hemiterophytes (T + Ht = %). The spectre of the phytogeographic elements (Fig. 2) is dominated by the Euroasian element which covers almost half the species (47.86 %), but the European (19.66 %) and the Central-European elements (8.55 %) contribute with their share, all these elements amounting to 76.7 %, which corresponds to the European character of the flora that is the subject of our study.

The spectre of the phytogeographic elements of the association Anthoxantho-Agrostetum capillaris Sillinger 1933 The analysis of the spectre according to the ecological index according to H. Ellemberg, (L, T, K, F, R, N), emphasizes different ecological and corrological aspects of the entire association aspects in close interconnection with the preferences of all the species for different factors (1,11). After this analysis, we drew the following conclusions: -As far as the analysis of the preference for light of the species is concerned (Fig. 3), the best represented are the half-light species; 127

Distribution of the species in relation to light (L) Fig. 4.

Distribution of the species in relation to continentality (K) Fig. 6. Distribution of the species in relation to the moisture content of the soil (F) - Regarding the preferences of species for the moisture content of the soil (Fig. 6), the category of the euriphile species (amphitolerant, indifferent) is relatively well represented, but the greatest proportion belongs to the mezoxerophile species; - Analysing the distribution of the species in relation to their preferences for the reaction of the soil (Fig. 7), most of them are amphitolerant species - the other categories are rather unevenly distributed, better represented being the neutrophile species; - Regarding the distribution of the species in relation to the amount of nitrogen available in the soil (Fig. 8), the best-represented category is that of the eurinitrophile (amphitolerant) species, naturally distributed from the intermediary category between the meganitrophile and nitrophile species to the category of the extremely-oligonitrophile category. 128

Distribution of the species in relation to the amount of nitrogen available in the soil (N) For the phytocoenoses of this association we established the real phytomass (by means of the measurements on spot and in the laboratory) and the potential viability, by means of theoretical calculi that take into account the present species, their participation, the folder value of species as well as the index of covering of the vegetation. The gravimetric determinations indicate relatively reduced amounts of the phytomass, the graminaceae and the leguminous plants having the greatest share (table II).
