Moesian silver lime woods

Description (English)

Tilia tomentosa dominated facies of mixed deciduous forests of Southern Central Europe and the northern and middle part of the Balkan Peninsula, mostly within the range of Quercion frainetto, but also locally developed in conjunction with eastern Carpinion betuli forests, in particular Tilia tomentosa woods of the Carpinus betulus - Quercus petraea belt of Bulgaria.
Located mainly on the northern slopes of the foothills in connection with acidic soils and high soil moisture, they usually form monodominant communities with an impressive aroma when flowering.
In the spring rich undergrowth is formed by Coridalis cava, Coridalis solida, Scilla bifolia, Erytronium dens-canis, Ficaria verna. Carex sylvatica is a common species in the summer.

Conservation status

EU conservation status

Conservation status assesses every six years and for each biogeographical region the condition of habitats and species compared to the favourable status as described in the Habitats Directive. The map shows the 2013-2018 assessments as reported by EU Member State. Assessments are further detailed in the summary document available behind the link below.

Good: A habitat is in a situation where it is prospering and with good prospects to do so in the future as well
Poor: A habitat is in a situation where a change in management or policy is required to return the habitat to favourable status but there is no danger of disappearance in the foreseeable future
Bad: A habitat is in serious danger of disappearing (at least regionally)
Unknown: The information available for the habitat type is scarce and does not allow a proper assessment of its conservation status
