Description (English)

Castanea sativa-dominated forests and naturalised plantations of the Quercion frainetto zone of the Balkan peninsula, of northern Greece, including the Chalkidike peninsula, with irradiations in the Ostryo-Carpinion orientalis aegeicum zone. They appear to represent the main area of indigenousness of the species.
