Submontane Hercynian stream ash-alder woods
Description (English)
Herb-rich Alnus glutinosa- or Fraxinus excelsior and Alnus glutinosa- dominated galleries of more montane affinities than those of the Stellario-Alnetum, paralleling the Alnetum incanae in mountainous country away from the Alps and the main Carpathian ranges, in particular in and around the great Hercynian ranges of the Bohemian Quadrangle, north to the Silesian lowlands. Alnus incana is sometimes present; common in, or characteristic of the undergrowth are Stellaria nemorum, Chaerophyllum hirsutum, Crepis paludosa, Aegopodium podagraria, Rubus idaeus, and, in some of the local variants, Astrantia major, Aruncus sylvestris.
