Abstract :
We present the results of the phytosociological study of the coastal sand dune plant communities of the Tinto, Odiel and Piedras rivers. Eight plant communities have been identified. They correspond to five different vegetation classes: Ammophiletea (Loto cretici-Ammophiletum australis, Euphorbio paraliae-Elytrigietum boreoatlanticae, Artemisio crithmifoliae-Armerietum pungentis), Cakiletea maritimae (Salsolo kali-Cakiletum maritimae), Cisto-Lavanduletea (Halimio halimifolii-Stauracanthetum genistoidis), Cytisetea scopario-striati (Centaureo sphaerocephalae-Retametum monospermae) and Quercetea ilicis (Osyrio quadripartitae-Juniperetum turbinatae, Rubio longifoliae-Corematetum albi), that are described, enclosed with their releves. Keywords: Coastal sand dune vegetation, Huelva, Tinto river, Odiel river, Piedras river, Southwest Iberian Peninsula.
