The Seslerio-Caricetum sempervirentis and the Caricetum ferrugineae fr
om the Northern Calcareous Alps show considerable ecological and regio
nal variation. 412 releves representing both communities were classifi
ed by cluster analysis. Several subassociations and variants were dist
inguished and interpreted principally in terms of ecology and geograph
ical distribution.
