Abstract
Another type of synantrophic vegetation frequent in the Maltese Islands is that one localized in the uncultivated lands or abandoned fields (Fig. 20.1), previously used for herbaceous crops. In these communities numerous therophytes well adapted to more or less nitrified soils are frequent and often dominant. Floristically, this vegetation is characterized by species belonging to Echio plantaginei-Galactition tomentosae, alliance of Chenopodietea widespread in the Mediterranean area.
