We classified temperate South Manchurian mixed forests (SMMFs) from the class Quercetea mongolicae, the order Tilio amurensis–Pinetalia koraiensis, and the alliance Carpino cordatae–Abietion holophyllae, using the Braun-Blanquet approach, and calculated diversity metrics for communities of different associations. The Querco mongolicae–Abietetum holophyllae represents mesic mixed forests dominated by Abies holophylla, Pinus koraiensis, with a complex of deciduous tree species. The new association Mitello nudae–Abietetum holophyllae encompasses SMMFs in the northern limit of their distribution with an admixture of boreal species. The new suballiance Filipendulo palmatae–Juglandenion mandshuricae unites two associations: Onocleo struthiopteridis–Juglandetum mandshuricae and Fraxino mandshurici–Abietetum holophyllae of SMMFs from eutrophic moist ecotopes. The association Rhododendro mucronulati–Betuletum schmidtii encompasses SMMFs of rocky ridges dominated by Betula schmidtii and Quercus mongolica. Two forest communities with no syntaxonomical rank: Carex drymophila–Abies holophylla and Magnolia sieboldii–Abies holophylla represent southern SMMFs on the Korean Peninsula.

Дзизюрова В.Д., Лисицына А.Д., Корзников К.А., Дудов С.В., Петренко Т.Я., Крестов П.В. Разнообразие южно-маньчжурских смешанных лесов союза Carpino cordatae–Abietion holophyllae класса Quercetea mongolicae. Мы классифицировали южно-маньчжурские смешанные леса (ЮМСЛ) умеренного пояса, относящиеся к классу Quercetea mongolicae, порядку Tilio amurensis–Pinetalia koraiensis и союзу Carpino cordatae–Abietion holophyllae, в рамках подхода Браун-Бланке, и рассчитали метрики разнообразия для сообществ разных ассоциаций. Querco mongolicae–Abietetum holophyllae представляет собой мезофитные смешанные леса, образованные Abies holophylla, Pinus koraiensis и комплексом лиственных видов деревьев. Новая ассоциация Mitello nudae–Abietetum holophyllae охватывает ЮМСЛ на северной границе их распространения с участием бореальных видов. Новый подсоюз Filipendulo palmatae–Juglandenion mandshuricae объединяет две ассоциации: Onocleo struthiopteridis–Juglandetum mandshuricae и Fraxino mandshurici–Abietetum holophyllae, сообщества которых характерны для эутрофных влажных экотопов. Ассоциация Rhododendro mucronulati–Betuletum schmidtii объединяет ЮМСЛ на скалистых хребтах с доминированием Betula schmidtii и Quercus mongolica. Два лесных сообщества без синтаксономического ранга: Carex drymophila–Abies holophylla и Magnolia sieboldii–Abies holophylla представляют южные ЮМСЛ Корейского полуострова.
