Notes on phytosociology ofJuniperus Excelsain Macedonia (Southern Balkan Peninsula)Juniperus excelsais an East Mediterranean species found also in marginal, sub-mediterranean regions of the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula. It prefers shallow soils in the warmest habitats of the zone of thermophilous deciduous forests. In the past the rank of alliance and the name ofJuniperion excelsae-foetidissimaehave been suggested for the vegetation dominated byJuniperus excelsain the Balkan Peninsula. In this paper we present the valid description of the alliance in accordance with the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. The validation of theJuniperion excelsae-foetidissimaerequired description of a new association - theQuerco trojanae-Juniperetum excelsae.TheJuniperion excelsae-foetidissimaeis classified within the order ofQuercetalia pubescentisKlika 1933 (theQuercetea pubescentisDoing-Kraft ex Scamoni et Passarge 1959).

National Nature Park “Pyryatynsky” is a valuable reserve of flora and vegetation of the Left-Bank Dnipro. The extensive hydrological network of the Udai River and the wide representation within this nature reserve of floodplain reservoirs are the reason for the high diversity of plant communities of higher aquatic vegetation. In this article we classified the communities of order Callitricho-Batrachietalia in National nature park "Pyryatynskyi" and identify the features of their syntaxonomic and ecological differentiation. Fragmentary and non-comlete information about this type of vegetation are existed in literature, however, without geobotanical releves and detailed characteristics of the structure of phytoceonoses, synecology and synchorology. All obtained results based on original field data. In total, 22 geobotanical releves were performed during the period 2010–2017. The description of communities was carried out within their natural boundaries. Treatment of fitosociological data was performed with the JUICE software package. The nomenclature of syntaxons was consistent with the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICFN).The order of Callitricho-Batrachietalia on the territory of NPP "Pyriatynsky" is represented by alliance Batrachion aquatilis Gehu 1961 and 4 associations (Batrachietum aquatilis Gehu 1961, Potameto perfoliati–Batrachietum circinati Sauer 1937, Hottonietum palustris Sauer 1947, Veronico beccabungae–Callitrichetum stagnalis (Oberdorfer 1957) Th. Müller 1962). This is first prodrome of order Callitricho-Batrachietalia for territory of National Nature Park “Pyryatynskyi”. The communities of this syntaxon occupy small areas and have a limited distribution in the region. Most of them are rare and vulnerable to changes in environmental conditions. Monitoring of their structure, chorology and dynamics is an important task to maintain and preserve the species and coenotic diversity of NPP "Pyryatynsky".

Phytosociological Nomenclature

Abstract This paper comments on nomenclature of the name Piceion excelsae of Pawłowski et al. (1928), which should be preferably referred using the form “Piceion excelsae Pawłowski ex Pawłowski et al. 1928”. In the author’s opinion, the definition of Recommendation 46D in the current International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (author citations with “ex”) needs to be revised to define alternatively the difference in contrast to Recommendation 46C (author citations with “in”): to highlight the difference at the place and time of the valid publication of the name handled. The equally aged name “Fagetalia sylvaticae Pawłowski ex Pawłowski et al. 1928” is invalidly published. The oldest validly published homonym found should be ascribed to Walas (1933).

In this paper is describing an initiative in cultural, outdoor science education that took place in the west Crete-Greece(Chania & Rethymnon counties) in 2015, and organized in collaboration with teachers and social bodies, to connectScience, Education and Local Communities for a better quality of everyday life. The initiative concentrated inorganizing the European Educational Conference “Mediterranean Sea Connects Us: Progress in Education withLocal Communities”, which hosted as a training program that can be applied elsewhere, with different target groups,promoting the aims of participatory acquisition of knowledge by sharing them in company, with experientialactivities in moments of joy, happiness and wisdom. Educators-officials of high level and much experienced in thethree levels of Education from Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Romania, with representatives from local bodies, wereinvited to deposit experience, aspects, ideas and expectations on future educational collaboration in the area ofBalkans, East Mediterranean and widely. As coexisting in the same geographical area, with long and importantcommon past, as collaborators in educational projects from the past, intended to be partners in important andinnovative future jointed actions in cultural STEM Education, for the progress of Mediterranean local educationalcommunities.

Abstract In the 1 9th century the long-legged buzzard bred in the Balkan Peninsula only in Greece. From the first half of the 20th century it began to expand to the north, and at the end of 201 2 the northern boundary of its breeding expansion in south-eastern Europe extended to central Hungary, south-western Romania, Romanian Dobruja, the southern half of Ukraine and along the western border of Kazakhstan. In the work are 232 faunistic data on the occurrence of the species on the territory of Slovakia from the year 1 870 to the end of 201 2. In the period from 1 911-1 950 only 7 cases were found here; from the period 1 951-2000 43 observations exist, and for the short period from 2001-201 2 there are as many as 1 80, of which 98 occurred in the year 201 2 alone. The text in particular evaluates the invasive occurrence of the species in 201 2 in Slovakia and its neighbouring countries (Austria, Czech Republic and Poland). Given this increasing trend in the frequency of occurrence of the long-legged buzzard in Slovakia, its breeding on the territory of Slovakia in the near future can be anticipated, though by the end of 201 2 this had not yet to be confirmed.

Population studies of a relic Mediterranean species Juniperus excelsa Bieb. in the southeastern Crimea were conducted. We laid out test plots in such sites of the region: Semidvorje (a natural landmark of local significance); Kanaka (a botanical reserve of national significance); Novy Svet (a botanical reserve of national significance); Kiziltash (a natural landmark having no any conservation status); Karadag (a state nature reserve). The density of Greek juniper populations is approximately similar, varying within 400–500 plants/ha. We have estimated age structure, age index and regeneration index of studied populations. They are dominated by normal left-sided age spectra. It has been established that the current level of recreational load does not pose a threat to the existence of juniper communities: the intensity of natural regeneration is rather high. However, the threats for juniper forests may be a reduction their area due to the construction of new resort facilities and their infrastructure, as well as illegal tree cutting.

This paper explains how to apply for conservation or rejection of names of syntaxa according to the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. First, authors have to submit a written proposal with all relevant details to be published in the Section “Phytosociological Nomenclature” of Phytocoenologia after formal editing. Then, from time to time, the Committee for Changes and Conservation of Names (CCCN) of the Working Group for Phytosociological Nomenclature (GPN) will evaluate the published proposals and make recommendations to accept or reject them. Finally, the GPN Assembly will vote on these recommendations and publish the decision.

Phytosociological Nomenclature

We present a detailed nomenclatural analysis of the class names Carpino-Fagetea, Querco-Fagetea, Quercetea robori-sessiliflorae, Quercetea ilicis and Vaccinio-Piceetea. The current literature presents contradictory opinions about the legitimacy and correct author citation of these names, often motivated by deviating interpretations of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. This primarily concerns the provisions of Articles 2b, 3j, 3m and 35 which can be interpreted in quite different ways, leading to divergent conclusions on the validity and legitimacy of a name. Thus, the problems discussed in this paper are of general relevance for phytosociological nomenclature, highlighting the need for amendments and clarifications to be implemented in the next edition of the Code. Moreover, we suggest establishing a formal procedure to request a binding decision on specific cases to stabilise the interpretation of the Code.
