Edition   EUNIS Habitat Classification 2012 - a revision of the habitat classification descriptions.

Description ( English )

Often low, open, xerophile forests dominated by [Quercus robur] or [Quercus petraea], developed on superficial to deep soils associated with calcareous substrates in Hercynian southern central Germany, eastern and southern Belgium, eastern and central France; located within the range of the [Pulmonario-Carpinenion], they offer similarities to the [Galio-Carpinenion] and generally constitute substitution forests of the [Cephalanthero-Fagion], either regressive phases brought about by coppicing or recolonisation phases permitted by abandonment of [Bromion] grasslands.
