Balkano-Anatolian thermophilous Quercus forests
Description (English)
Xerophile or xero-mesophile forests of Quercus frainetto, Quercus cerris, of Quercus petraea and related deciduous oaks, locally of Quercus pedunculiflora or Quercus virgiliana, of the sub-continental central and eastern Balkan peninsula, of the supra-Mediterranean level of continental Greece, except the extreme south, and of supra-Mediterranean Anatolia. In most of their range they constitute the lowest altitudinal tier of forest vegetation; in Greece and adjacent areas, however, they occur above the forests of the Ostryo-Carpinion. In western Carpathians they have the northern boundary of occurrence and here are represented by the alliance Quercion confertae cerris with species Lathyrus niger, Melica picta, Serratula tinctoria, Veronica officinalis.
