The animal communities could be treated as well. Some my former
colleagues are still working on animal communities of marine benthic
invertebrates. They also use Braun-Blanquet methods and even describe
some syntaxa in a very formalised manner. So, syntaxonomy could be
defined as the classification of the communities of living organisms.
Still, the botanists came first...
