Nomenclatural revision of the syntaxa of European coastal dune vegetation

This manuscript provides a review of the phytosociological nomenclature of the European syntaxa included in the classes Ammophiletea arundinaceae , Honckenyo peploidis-Elymetea arenarii , and Koelerio glaucae-Corynephoretea canescentis . The nomenclature has been refined and updated following the 4 th edition of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICPN). In the Appendix, we submit two proposals ( 37, 38 ) to conserve the names Ammophilion arundinaceae Braun-Blanquet 1933 and Medicagini marinae-Ammophiletum arundinaceae Braun-Blanquet 1933. Taxonomic reference : see references in the main text. Syntaxonomic reference : see references in the main text. Abbreviations : EVCC = European Vegetation Classification Committee; ICPN = 4 th edition of the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (Theurillat et al. 2021).
