1930Svensk Bot. Tidskrift XXIV. 492 The most elementary units in the series of phytocoenoses, or the sociations, have until now been studied nearly only by the Scandinavian School of Ecologists (= Phytosociologists). Until 1928 they were called ‘associations’, but in order to facilitate an international agreement, Scandinavian ecologists have now agreed to accept this term in its Middle-European sense, following Rübel's proposition to apply the new term ‘sociation’ to the earlier Scandinavian ‘associations’ (or ‘micro-associations’). 1936Jrnl. Ecol. XXIV. 276 It is here proposed to call the aspect society a sociation and the layer society a lamiation, while the corresponding seral terms would be socies and lamies. 1973P. A.
