Resumo(s)
In the present work, we studied seven communities
occurring in salt marshes in the west of the Iberian
Peninsula, mostly ascribable to Sarcocornietea fruticosae
class. Three new syntaxa are described: Myriolimo
diffusi-Limonietum algarvensis, Triglochino
maritimae-Sarcocornietum alpini subass. puccinellietosum
maritimae and Limonion lanceolati-algarvensis.
The first one is a chamaephytic community
existing on thermomediterranean dry salt marshes,
only inundated during high tides; it occupies welldrained
sands from the Algarve (Coastal Lusitanian-
Andalusian Province, Mediterranean Region), which
the director species are the Iberian endemisms
Myriolimon diffusum and Limonium algarvense. The
second one is a halophytic community formed by
Sarcocornia perennis subsp. alpini, Triglochin maritima,
Halimione portulacoides, Puccinellia maritima,
and Plantago maritima on sites occasionally
inundated by saltwater, rich in sand and silt, north
of the Ria de Aveiro (Miniense District, Cantabrian-
Atlantic Subprovince, Eurosiberian Region). The last
one is the alliance Limonion lanceolati-algarviensis,
formed by Limonium sp. pl. communities from the
Coastal Lusitanian-Andalusian Province. We also extend
the distribution area of Puccinellio tenuifoliae-
Limonietum plurisquamati to the Tagus estuary We
propose the segregation between Myriolimetum
ferulacei, from the Algarve sea cliffs, and Inulo crithmoidis-
Myriolimetum ferulacei, from salt marshes
