Abstract

In this paper, the Vulpia myuros community is noted for the first time in inland Croatia. It has become established in ruderal habitats along railway tracks in skeletal and sandy soils. This is an annual, mainly therophytic community with a small number of species in its floristic composition, dominated by the grass Vulpia myuros (L.) C. C. Gmelin. Phytosociologically, it is assigned to ruderal vegetation of the order Sisymbrietalia J. Tx. in Lohm. et al. 1962 and the class Chenopodietea Br.-Bl. 1951.
