HABITAT TYPES OF EUROPEAN IMPORTANCE IN THE AREA OF WETLANDS GROMIZELJ (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)

Abstract

The paper presents the types of wetlands habitat Gromizelj which is of European
importance. The review is made on the basis of studies of flora and vegetation and

with Magnopotamnion-or Hydrocharition-vegetation type, 3270 Muddy river banks
with Chenopodionrubrip. p. and Bidention p. p. vegetation, 6430 Hydrophilous
tall-herb fringe communities of plains and of the montane to alpine levels,
Reedbeds, tall sedges and vegetation of Phragmito-Magnocaricetea, 91E0 Alluvial
forests with Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior (Alno-Padion, Alnionincanae,
