Year: 2018, Issue: LXVI, Pages: 250 - 265
In this paper, we report habitat conditions and phytosociological data of Macropodium pterospermum in slopes of Mt. Chekhova and Mt. Krasnaya, southern part of the Susunayskiy Ridge, near the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Macropodium pterospermum occupy snowy depressions, valley bottoms of mountain springs and sites around points of groundwater discharges at slopes with altitudes 400-850 m a.s.l. We found M. pterospermum in Betula ermanii-Duschekia maximowiczii krummholz (ass. Weigelo-Betuletum ermanii Nakamura in Miyawaki 1988, cl. Betulo-Ranunculetea Ohba 1968), subalpine tall-herbs communities Aconogonon weyrichii-Filipendula camtschatica (ass. Cirsio kamtschaticae-Polygonetum sachalinensis (Ohba 1973) Ohba et Sugawara 1982, cl. Filipendulo-Artemisietea montanae Ohba 1973). We describe mountain springs communities with M. pterospermum dominance as Caltho fistulosae-Macropodietum pterospermae ass. nov. prov., cl. Montio-Cardaminetea Br.-Bl. et Tx. ex Klika et Hadac 1944 (un. Angelico genuflexae-Cardaminion Ohba 1975, ord. Angelico genuflexae-Cardaminetalia Ohba 1975, cl. Montio-Cardaminetea Br.-Bl. et Tx. ex Klika et Hadac 1944).
