Abstract

We present a synthesis of the halophilous fruticose vegetation structured by Arthrocnemum macrostachyum on the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic Islands and Canary Islands (Arthrocnemo macrostachyi-Suaedetalia braun-blanquetii, Salicornietea fruticosae). The analysis and study of over 200 selected phytosociological relevés supports the conclusions reflected in the syntaxonomical checklist of the units recognised in the study area. The floristic appendix also contains taxonomic and floristic-chorological novelties.
