Resumo

The work presents a phytocoenologic study of Asplenio rutae-murariae-Melicetum ciliatae association Soo 1962 in the Vascau Plateau in Bihor County. This association was reported in the Rasteţului Hill on Vascau Plateau, where a number of five phytocoenological relevees were carried out in 2011. The phytocoenoses of this association were analyzed considering the floristic composition, life forms, floristic elements, karyotype and ecological indices. The floristic composition of the association, totalizing 57 species is dominated by calcio-phillic elements with low preferences on soil moisture. An important coenotic role is played by xerophytes and xero-mesophytes species specific to the Seslerio-Festucion pallentis alliance, Stipio pulcherrimae-Festucetalia pallentis order and Festuco-Brometea class. These phytocoenoses have low economic significance, having in their floristic composition some forage plants: Festuca valesiaca, Sanguisorba minor, Brachypodium pinnatum, Trifolium montanum and medicinal ones: Thymus comosus, Hypericum perforatum, Sedum acre.
