Abstract

The minimal area of a foliicolous lichen community of Woessia vasakii in southern France (West Languedoc, Department of Gard) was studied by the method of the mean similarity coefficients of Sørensen and of Kulcinsky. The determination of the qualitative and quantitative minimal areas, which are c. 30–50 cm2 and 50–80 cm2, respectively, allows the phytosociological study of the foliicolous communities of southern France by the method of integral sampling.
