Stable xero-thermophilous formations with Buxus sempervirens on rock slopes (Berberidion pp)
Description (English)
Stable xero-thermophilous and calcicolous scrubs dominated by Buxus sempervirens, of hill and montane levels. These formations correspond to xero-thermophilous Buxus thickets with their fringe associations of the Geranion sanguinei alliance on calcareous or siliceous substratum. They also constitute the natural woodland edge of calcareous dry forests rich with Buxus.
In the euro-siberian region, the more open formations are rich in sub-Mediterranean plant species.
