Sažetak
The association Eleocharitetum palustris is a marshland community that has been insufficiently investigated in Europe as a whole. In this paper 22 relevés from Croatia are presented. The association is characterized by its dominant species, Eleocharis palustris and poor floristic composition. The stands develop in very wet habitats alongside the banks of freshwater marshes and in shallow microdepressions of terrain. Habitats are flooded for most of the year. The community is also adapted to grazing, trampling and mowing. A comparison of the stands from the continental and Mediterranean parts of the country shows a higher species richness in the stands in continental Croatia. Based on the differences in floristic composition, the association was divided into two geographic variants: continental and Mediterranean. A comparison of Eleocharitetum palustris from Croatia and some other European countries shows similar species composition and mostly the same common plant taxa.
