Définition EUR 28

Riparian forests of Fraxinus excelsior and Alnus glutinosa, of temperate and Boreal Europe lowland and hill watercourses (44.3: Alno-Padion); riparian woods of Alnus incanae of montane and sub-montane rivers of the Alps and the northern Apennines (44.2: Alnion incanae); arborescent galleries of tall Salix alba, S. fragilis and Populus nigra, along medio-European lowland, hill or sub-montane rivers (44.13: Salicion albae). All types occur on heavy soils (generally rich in alluvial deposits) periodically inundated by the annual rise of the river (or brook) level, but otherwise well-drained and aerated during low-water. The herbaceous layer invariably includes many large species (Filipendula ulmaria, Angelica sylvestris, Cardamine spp., Rumex sanguineus, Carex spp., Cirsium oleraceum) and various vernal geophytes can occur, such as Ranunculus ficaria, Anemone nemorosa, A. ranunculoides, Corydalis solida.
This habitat includes several sub-types: ash-alder woods of springs and their rivers (44.31 - Carici remotae-Fraxinetum); ash-alder woods of fast-flowing rivers (44.32 - Stellario-Alnetum glutinosae); ash-alder woods of slow-flowing rivers (44.33 - Pruno-Fraxinetum, Ulmo-Fraxinetum); montane grey alder galleries (44.21 - Calamagrosti variae-Alnetum incanae Moor 58); sub-montane grey alder galleries (44.22 - Equiseto hyemalis-Alnetum incanae Moor 58); white willow gallery forests (44.13 - Salicion albae). The Spanish types belong to the alliance Osmundo-Alnion (Cantabric atlantic and southeast Iberia peninsula).

Remarques

Most of these forests are in contact with humid meadows or ravine forests (Tilio-Acerion). A succession towards Carpinion (Primulo-Carpinetum) can be observed.
