Abstract
This study aims to present and analyse, from phytosociologic perspective, the phytocoenoses preferred by Vipera ursinii individuals, of the Sărăturile levee (Danube Delta). Our field investigations showed that most of vipers have been observed in the plant communities with relatively tall grasses and high cover and in the ecotonal areas that are appropriate for thermoregulation. The analysis of the relevés allowed the identification of three phytosociological associations: Juncetum maritimi (Rübel 1930) Pignatti 1953, Juncetum littoralis Popescu et Sanda 1976 (Cl. Juncetea maritimi Br.-Bl. 1931) and Agropyretum elongati I. Şerbănescu 1965 (Cl. Festuco-Puccinelietea Soó 1968).
