O článku:
The chionophobic and sub-hygrophilous plant community of the association Dryado octopetalae-Caricetum firmae Sillinger 1933 is presented from the territory of the Western Carpathians. Data set of 88 relevés was analysed by detrended correspondence analysis and cluster analysis. They were divided into two subassociations: D.-C. primuletosum auriculae Šibík, Petrík & Kliment 2004 and D.-C. saxifragetosum aizoidis Šibík, Petrík & Kliment 2004. The first one occurs mainly on steep, north-facing rocky sites, small narrow terraces and rocky grooves, but can be found also on windy rocky ledges and slopes. In comparison with the previous subassociation, stands of the second one are more hygrophilous and much more closed, developed on north- (rarely west)-facing sites on mountain edges with very foggy climate
