GrassPlot is a collaborative vegetation-plot database organised by the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) and listed in the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD ID EU-00-003). GrassPlot collects plot records (releves) from grasslands and other open habitats of the Palaearctic biogeographic realm. It focuses on precisely delimited plots of eight standard grain sizes (0.0001; 0.001;... 1,000 m(2)) and on nested-plot series with at least four different grain sizes. The usage of GrassPlot is regulated through Bylaws that intend to balance the interests of data contributors and data users. The current version (v. 1.00) contains data for approximately 170,000 plots of different sizes and 2,800 nested-plot series. The key components are richness data and metadata. However, most included datasets also encompass compositional data. About 14,000 plots have near-complete records of terricolous bryophytes and lichens in addition to vascular plants. At present, GrassPlot contains data from 36 countries throughout the Palaearctic, spread across elevational gradients and major grassland types. GrassPlot with its multi-scale and multi-taxon focus complements the larger international vegetationplot databases, such as the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and the global database " sPlot". Its main aim is to facilitate studies on the scale-and taxon-dependency of biodiversity patterns and drivers along macroecological gradients. GrassPlot is a dynamic database and will expand through new data collection coordinated by the elected Governing Board. We invite researchers with suitable data to join GrassPlot. Researchers with project ideas addressable with GrassPlot data are welcome to submit proposals to the Governing Board.
GrassPlot是一个由欧亚干草原集团(EDGG)组织的合作植被区数据库,列在全球植被区数据库索引(GIVD ID EU-00-003)中。GrassPlot收集了古北生物地理学领域草原和其他开放栖息地的地块记录(相关记录)。它关注八种标准粒度(0.0001;0.001;…1000m(2))的精确定界图和至少四种不同粒度的嵌套图系列。GrassPlot的使用通过旨在平衡数据贡献者和数据用户利益的章程进行监管。当前版本(v.1.00)包含约170000个不同大小地块和2800个嵌套地块系列的数据。关键组成部分是丰富的数据和元数据。然而,大多数包含的数据集也包含组成数据。大约14000个地块除了维管植物外,还有近完整的陆生苔藓植物和地衣记录。目前,GrassPlot包含来自古北界36个国家的数据,分布在海拔梯度和主要草原类型之间。GrassPlot以其多尺度和多分类单元为重点,补充了较大的国际植被图数据库,如欧洲植被档案馆(EVA)和全球数据库“sPlot”。其主要目的是促进对宏观生态梯度上生物多样性模式和驱动因素的规模和分类单元依赖性的研究。GrassPlot是一个动态数据库,将通过选举产生的理事会协调的新数据收集进行扩展。我们邀请有合适数据的研究人员加入GrassPlot。欢迎有GrassPlot数据可寻址项目想法的研究人员向理事会提交提案。

This annual Editorial of 2017 summarizes the developments of the journal Phytocoenologia in the two years following its re-launch in 2015. Both the Editorial Team and the topics and regions of publications are very diverse. Starting with 2015, Impact Factors and CiteScores profoundly improved compared to the previous years, which, together with some other measures, has rendered Phytocoenologia an increasingly attractive publication venue. Narrowing the scope of Phytocoenologia explicitly down to “vegetation survey and classification” was arguably one of the cornerstones of recent success. The bibliometric analyses have also allowed us to demonstrate that both in absolute numbers and with regard to the proportion of such papers, Phytocoenologia can now be considered the leading journal in the field of vegetation classification worldwide. The citation network of Phytocoenologia includes a wide array of journals, although many remain to be covered in the Web of Science, to the bibliometric disadvantage of Phytocoenologia. We shortly present the four Editors’ Choice articles of 2016 and a selection of some other outstanding contributions of that volume. The Editors’ Award 2016 goes to Rui B. Elias and colleagues for their combination of vegetation classification and distribution modelling to derive a map of the natural vegetation of the Azores. In conclusion, the Editors aim to provide a service to vegetation ecologists worldwide by maintaining and further improving the qualities of Phytocoenologia.
本2017年度社论总结了《植物群落学》杂志自2015年重新启动以来两年来的发展。无论是编辑团队还是出版物的主题和地区都非常多样化。从2015年开始,影响因子和CiteScores与前几年相比有了很大的改善,这与其他一些措施一起,使植物群落学成为一个越来越有吸引力的出版场所。将植物群落学的范围明确地缩小到“植被调查和分类”可以说是最近成功的基石之一。文献计量学分析也使我们能够证明,无论是在绝对数量上还是在这类论文的比例上,《植物群落学》现在都可以被认为是世界范围内植被分类领域的领先期刊。植物群落学的引文网络包括广泛的期刊,尽管许多期刊仍未被科学网络覆盖,这对植物群落学的文献计量不利。我们将简要介绍2016年的四篇编辑之选文章,以及该卷中其他一些杰出贡献的精选。2016年编辑奖授予Rui B. Elias及其同事,他们将植被分类和分布建模相结合,得出了亚速尔群岛的自然植被图。总之,编者的目标是通过保持和进一步提高植物群落的质量,为全世界的植被生态学家提供服务。

Aims: To present the first syntaxonomical classification for the mesophilous deciduous forests of the PamirAlai Mountains in Tajikistan with some remarks on its environmental gradients. Location: Tajikistan. Methods: Altogether 201 relevés were sampled between 2008‒2013 using the seven-degree cover-abundance scale of Braun-Blanquet. They were classified by the modified TWINSPAN method using the four-step interval scale with cutoff levels of 0%, 2%, 5% and 10% and total inertia as a measure of cluster heterogeneity. Diagnostic species were identified using the phi coefficient as a fidelity measure. Detrendended Correspondence Analysis was used to determine the relation between samples, vegetation units and the major gradients in species composition. Results: Plant communities of typical broad-leaved, riparian and gallery woods inhabiting mainly the lowland, colline, montane and subalpine zone in several mountains and river valleys in the Pamir Alai Mts. are herein described. Numerical analyses of vegetation data resulted in the distinction of ten associations: Juglandetum regiae, Aceretum turkestanici, Violo suavis-Populetum albae, Swido darvasicae-Platanetum orientalis, Populetum pamiricae, Populetum talassicae, Salicetum turanico-pycnostachyae, Populetum pruinosae, Betuletum turkestanico-tianschanicae and Fraxinetum sogdianae, which have been assigned to four alliances: Acero turkestanici-Juglandion regiae for mesophilous broad-leaved forests, Populion afghanicae for montane riparian forests, Populion talassicae for subalpine riparian forests and Elaeagno-Populion pruinosae for gallery forests of the Middle Asian lowlands. The main factors determining the species composition of the studied associations are salinity, soil humidity, elevation, slope and aspect. Conclusions: Our first attempt initiates research on the diversity of forest vegetation in Tajikistan and Middle Asia. It provides the first classification scheme that could be used in further studies on forest vegetation in the surrounding regions, particularily in Middle and Central Asia.
