Oro-Pannonic steppe ash-lime woods
Description (English)
Loosely closed forests mainly of Tilia platyphyllos and Fraxinus excelsior developed on shallow soils of exposed crests of limestone mountains (more rarely on andesite rocks) of the Northern Hungarian Range, with an herb layer of Brachypodium pinnatum, Galium erectum, Cruciata glabra, Digitalis grandiflora, Erysimum odoratum, Sisymbrium strictissimum, Aconitum anthora, accompanied by endemics among which Hesperis vrabelyiana, Carduus collinus and by other regionally rare species with disjunct distribution, such as Waldsteinia geoides, Melica altissima, Carex brevicollis. They constitute relict forests, most probably of the Boreal era, and are of great biological value.
