title: Crypsietea aculeatae Vicherek 1973 – the new class for Asian Russia
abstract: Communities dominated by Crypsis aculeata, a rare species in Western Siberia, were analyzed. Its rarity is related to the originality of occupied habitats – small closed depressions with variable regime of flooding and salinization (pods). On the territory of Russia such communities remain poorly studied and are cited in the literature only from the Crimea and Lower Volga region. Coenoses with Crypsis aculeata are distributed in the steppe and forest-steppe zone of Altai Territory and Novosibirs
