Forest substitution heaths, treeline fringe formations and alpine heaths or mats of calcareous soils in the Alps and the Dinarides, with [Rhododendron hirsutum], [Rhododendron intermedium], [Rhodothamnus chamaecistus] and [Erica herbacea], often accompanied by [Clematis alpina], [Daphne striata], [Daphne mezereum], [Globularia cordifolia], [Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]. [Rhododendron hirsutum] and, mostly in the Austrian Alps, [Erica herbacea] are the most frequent dominants; other shrubs can locally play that role.
