T1-B7 - Chênaies acidiphiles médio-européennes

Medio-European acidophilous Quercus forests

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Forests of Quercus petraea, sometimes of Quercus robur, or of either or both oaks and Fagus sylvatica, accompanied by a cortège of sub-Atlantic and submeridional acidophile species (e.g. Pinus sylvestris, Carpinus betulus), developed in central and southern-central Europe, outside of the main Atlantic-influenced range of the Quercion. Quercus-dominated acidophilous forests of the western Hercynian ranges and their periphery, developed in more Atlantic conditions as substitution forests of the Luzulo-Fagion beech forests have been associated with them because of a shared contingent of sub-Atlantic accompanying species and similarities in overall appearance.
