A revision was undertaken of the high-rank syntaxa of the vegetation of Turkey. All published synecological and phytosociological releves available were collected in order to create a comprehensive list of previously proposed syntaxonomic units. These units were evaluated for their floristic and ecological distinctness, clarity of geographic distribution, and compliance with the nomenclature code from the viewpoint of the Braun-Blanquet syntaxonomy for vascular plants. Accepted units were compiled into these systems of classes, orders, and alliances (AnatoliaVegChecklist-AVC) for communities dominated by vascular plants. Arboreal, riparian woodland, steppic, halophytic and brackish, sand dune, chasmophytic, ruderal, and aquatic vegetation types include 30 classes, 1 subclass, 49 orders, 5 suborders, 107 alliances, and 9 suballiances.
