Central European lichen scots pine forests
Description (English)
Natural lichen-rich acidophilous Pinus sylvestris forests belonging to the alliance Dicrano-Pinion occurring on inland nutrient poor sands of the northeastern plains and hills of Central Europe and of the nemoral belt of the middle and southern Sarmatic region. The trees are low growing as the soils are nutrient deficient and subject to drought stress.
