    Abstract The aim was to study the relationships among forest communities dominated by Pinus nigra s.l. in the Apennine-Balkan biogeographical province. The opportunity to deepen this argument was offered by Pinus nigra natural communities present in the central Apennines (Gran Sasso d'Italia). The data collected on the vegetation were elaborated with the phytosociological method, although in the choice of the higher order syntaxa, it was considered appropriate to broaden the approach to different tectonic, palaeobotanical, palaeogeographic and biogeographic analysis factors, to define the classes and reference orders. This led to the recognition that the black pine forests of the study area, together with those of the central-southern limestone Apennines, should be included in the class Erico-Pinetea Horvat 1959. For the territory investigated, we describe the new association Junipero hemisphaericae-Pinetum nigrae and the new order Junipero communis-Pinetalia nigrae ordo nov. hoc loco, of which the southern Balkan alliance Fraxino orni-Pinion nigrae Em 1978 is considered the alliance typus. In this context, the new alliance Junipero hemisphaericae-Pinion nigrae (typus: Junipero hemisphaericae-Pinetum nigrae) represents the central-southern Apennine vicariant. The new order Junipero communis-Pinetalia nigrae represents the vicariant of the order Erico-Pinetalia Horvat 1959 in the central-southern Apennine-Balkan mountain ranges

    Plant landscape of the hill territory around Ancona. - The phytosociological study of the vegetation of the arenaceous, peliticous-arenaceous, arenaceous-peliticous and alluvial lands of the hilly Ancona sector, in the east- central part of the Italian peninsula on the Adriatic side, permitted the reconstruction of different vegetation series which are distributed in close relationship with the area’s lithological formations. The edaphous-xerophilous series of the arenaceous substrata corresponds to the Roso sempervirentis-Querœto pubescentis sigmetum; the climatophilous series of the peliticous-arenaceous substrata is represented by the Asparago acutifolii-Ostryeto carpinifoliae sig-metum, while the climatophilous series of the Lonicero xy los tei -Querceto cerridis sigmetum is found on the arenaceous-peliticous substrata. The flood plain series of the oldest alluvial terraces corresponds to the Rubio peregrinae-Carpineto beluli, while in more recent ones the edaphous-hygrophilous series of the Symphyto bulbosi-Ulmeto minori s sigmetum is represented By integrating these si g me ta, the geosigmetum of the hilly territory of Ancona is obtained
