As a result of the classification analysis five vegetation zones were distinquished. The ordination techniques used in the analysis have demonstrated that out of the measured soil properties the most essential part, in the formation of the grassland vegetation zonation, played the content of chloride ions (which was used here as the main salinity measure), while moisture and pH were of minor importance. All the measured environmental factors accounted for only a low percentage (26.5 percent in 1992 and 17.2 percent in 1993) of the total vegetation variation, what might suggest that besides chloride ions another factor might have affected the development of zonation
