Abstract

The paper presents the results of phytocoenological studies of the helophyte vegetation occupying the litoral zone of three North Italian glacial lakes and of the tall-forb communities occurring on the Adige riverside. It uses the method of the Zürich-Montpellier school. The association complex occupying the littoral zone of Lake Caldaro, above all the associations ofCladietum marisci, Caricetum elatae, Juncetum subnodulosi, Schoenetum nigricantis, andSelino-Molinietum caeruleae resembles those of ± mesotrophic, calcium rich prealpine lakes studied in Switzerland, West Germany and Austria. On the other hand, the majority of the communities occurring in the littoral of the great Lake Monticolo are of dystrophic-mesotrophic character, manifested above all in the occurrence ofCaricetum diandrae, Peucedano-Caricetum lasiocarpae, andCaricetum elatae comaretosum, all with boreal distribution. The tall-forb associationLysimachio vulgaris-Filipenduletum has developed in the Adige riverside fromCalthenion and/or from Magnocaricetalia communities as a result of interruption of mowing.
