ResumoThe paper presents a syntaxonomical revision of plant communities in the Carpathians dominated by Rumex alpinus L. The study has been based on 252 published releves obtained in various Carpathian massifs, pre- senting phytocoenoses of anthropogenic (zoogenic) origin, and probably natural ones as well. As a result of nu- merical analyses, three associations were distinguished: Aconito firmi-Rumicetum alpini, Heracleo pal- mati-Rumicetum alpini (which are probably natural associations), and an anthropogenic association known as Rumicetum alpini. Within Rumicetum alpini, three subassociations ( senecionetosum nemorensis, po- etosum annue, typicum), two geographical variants (East-Carpathian and West-Carpathian), and some altitu- dinal forms (high-montane and low-montane) were distinguished. Aconito-Rumicetum alpini and Heracleo- Rumicetum alpini were placed within the class Mulgedio-Aconitetea and Rumicetum alpini within the class Galio-Urticetea. The discussion includes the origin of the phytocoenoses and their temporal variability.
