Boreonemoral herb-rich mixed forests
Description (English)
Forests of the boreonemoral transition zone between taiga and temperate lowland deciduous forests in which conifers, Picea abies, Picea obovata, Pinus sylvestris, Abies sibirica, share the main canopy with deciduous trees, mostly Quercus robur, but also Betula pendula or Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii, accompanied by an undergrowth rich in forbs, ferns and mesophile grasses. A number of subunits can be distinguished with species cortèges similar to those of conifer taiga forests of units G3.A2-G3.A4, G3.B3 or of deciduous woods of units G1.A141, G1.918, G1.91724- G1.91726.
