It refers to the haploid and diploid phases of the plant life cycle.

Alternation of generations is the cycle in which a multicellular haploid gametophyte (n) alternates with a multicellular diploid sporophyte (2n). Meiosis and fertilization mediate the switch between those phases, but the term itself describes the haploid/diploid phases rather than just the processes.
