In this work the main results of the researches of synanthropic vegetation which are carried out by B.M. Mirkin's scientific school in the Republic of Bashkortostan are summed up. The prodromus of synanthropic communities currently includes 7 classes of vegetation, 13 orders of magnitude, 22 unions and 76 associations, as well as a number of communities of various ranks. The bibliographic list of the main publications is given.

We discuss methods for the quantitative analysis of vegetation: experimental design, simple statistical parameters and criteria, methods of ordination of vegetation, geobotanical indication, quantitative methods of classification, studying its dynamics, etc. We have considered the contribution of Professor B.M. Mirkin in quantitative methods of phytocenological studies and their current state.

The contribution of Prof. B.M. Mirkin to the development of parasyntaxonomy – the study of diversity of ancient plant communities is considered. Correspondence between B.M. Mirkin ans S.V. Meyen on these topics are presented. The cast of mind of B.M. Mirkin and his influence on the development of the Russian Braun-Blanquism are outlined.

Prodromus of vegetation of salt and brackish marshes and transit to tundra habitats on the southeastern coast of the Barents Sea includes 13 associations (with 17 subassociations, 8 variants and 2 communities); 3 associations and 11 subassocia-tions are new. The salt marshes communities are traditionally input to Puccinellion phryganodis Hadač 1946 and Caricion glareosae Nordhagen 1954 of the Juncetea maritimi Br.-Bl. in Br.-Bl. et al. class; syntaxa with Carex salina, described for the first time in the brackish marshes, – to Dupontion fischeri Hadač 1946 alliance of the same class; phytocenoses of the highest levels of marshes and transit band from marshes to tundra with Salix reptans and S. glauca – to Aulacomnio palustris–Salicion glaucae Sinelnikova 2001 alliance without class; hygro-, hydro- and hyda-tophytes vegetation in shallow waters and on muddy soils of shallows streams and ponds – to alliances of the Phragmito-Magnocaricetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941 and Potamogetonetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941 classes.

According to the researches, flora of Salavat contains 711 species of vascular plants from 388 genus and 89 families. 198 species are adventive, of which 60 species can be attributed to invasive and potentially invasive species. 4 species are listed (Tulipa biebersteiniana Schult. et Schult fil., Stipa korshinskyi Roshev., S. pennata L., S. pulcherrima K. Koch.) in the Red Data Books of the Republic of Bashkortostan and Russian Federation. Also 2 endemic species of Ural and Cis-Urals (Serratula gmelinii Tausch and Lathyrus litvinovii Iljin) have been met. Information is provided on the distribution, bioecological features and economic significance of species.
