Abstract
The results of an ecological and phytosociological study of the chamaephytic vegetation on the first two alluvial terraces of several river beds in southern Tuscany (central Italy) are reported. A strong correlation between the various plant communities and the degree of disturbance by flooding and with pedogenesis was observed. A new subassociation of Santolino etruscae-Saturejetum montanae, growing on terraces with incoherent substrate frequently disturbed by flooding, is described. Some fundamental factors; namely the ecological and structural features of the individual vegetation stands, clarify the autonomy and syntaxonomical collocation of the coenoses studied.
