41.24 - Sub-Atlantic stitchwort oak-hornbeam forests

Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Sub-Atlantic and medio-European forests of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea, with Carpinus betulus, developed on meso-oligotrophic soils, less hydromorphic than those occupied by the often sympatric forests of unit 41.23, characterized by the replacement of the groups of Primula elatior and Lamium galeobdolon, well represented in the forests of unit 41.23, by those of Deschampsia flexuosa and of Maianthemum bifolium, transgressives from the Quercion. They constitute the prevalent oak-hornbeam forests of the Mnster basin, the Rhenish and Mosan regions, the northwestern Hercynian lands, Lorraine and the eastern Paris basin, Burgundy.
