Vegetation traditionally related to the alliance Cynosurion cristati was studied in the central part of West Bulgaria. The analysis was based on 202 phytosociological relevés. Classification and ordination of the vegetation were made. As a result of the analyses, four associations were identified: Anthoxantho odorati-Agrostietum tenuis, Festuco rubrae-Agrostetum capillaris, Bromo racemosi-Cynosuretum cristati, and Cirsio cani-Festucetum pratensis. The ecological conditions of the habitats were assessed by means of Ellenberg Indicator Values. Management regimes of the vegetation within the framework of the four associations are commented on.
