EUNIS habitat type code   G1.A15 Level   5
Edition   EUNIS Habitat Classification 2012 - a revision of the habitat classification descriptions.

Description ( English )

Sub-Atlantic forests of [Quercus robur] and [Quercus petraea], mostly low-canopied, with [Carpinus betulus], [Sorbus torminalis], [Betula pendula], [Populus tremula] in the subcanopy or the understorey, developed on soils with an alternating hydric regime, mostly clays derived from the alteration of Devonian schists, characterized by the abundance of [Carex flacca] and the coexistence of acidocline and calcicline species, typical of the sub-Hercynian Fagne-Famenne depression where they constitute a highly distinctive, almost continuous, forest-belt.
