FAG-02B - Fagion sylvaticae Luquet 1926

Classification phytosociologique européenne (Eurovegchecklist, 2016)

Diagnose

Partly refugial post-glacial basiphilous beech and mixed fir-beech forests of the temperate Europe

Remarques

fag07 : This alliance includes all basiphilous beech forests lacking numerous diagnostic species of the Aremonio-Fagion and of the Geranio-Fagion found in the two main refugial areas of European beech forests − the Balkans and the Apennines, respectively. The various alliances proposed for other putative refugia (e.g. the Scillo-Fagion for the Pyrenees, the Symphyto-Fagion for the Carpathians) have only weak floristic support. Instead, several geographically defined suballiances of the thermophilous and mesic beech forests could be distinguished within the Fagion sylvaticae. (WW) LM disagrees and suggests recognising the Scillo-Fagion and the Symphyto-Fagion as alliances in their own right.
