Description ( English )
Forests of [Picea abies] or, in the east, [Picea obovata], sometimes accompanied by [Pinus sylvestris], of boreal Fennoscandia, boreal Russia west of the western Ural piedmont, extending into the boreonemoral region, in particular, in Fennoscandia, with an understorey dominated by [Gymnocarpium dryopteris], [Oxalis acetosella], ericaceous shrubs and mosses. They occupy stations with a richer nutrient supply and a higher humidity level than those of the bilberry forests of unit G3.A1, with a lower humidity level than the tall fern forests of unit G3.A22 and with a lower nutrient supply than the small herb forests of unit G3.A3.
