“…equi-trojana, Picea orientalis, Pinus nigra, P. sylvestris, Carpinus betulus, Castanea sativa, Tilia argentea and various oak species such as Quercus petraea, Q. frainetto and Q. cerris (Mayer & Aksoy 1986). Fagus orientalis dominated forests can be found also in Europe: in the most southeastern part of Bulgaria (Tzonev et al , 2009 and northwestern part of Turkey, in Thrace (Kavgacı et al 2010b). Its appearance in Greece is difficult to define, since the distribution limit between Fagus sylvatica and Fagus orientalis is rather unclear in NE Greece (Tsiripidis et al 2007, Papageorgiou et al 2008.…”

Floristic differentiation of the oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) forests in Turkey and Bulgaria was investigated and the role of geographical and topographical factors in this differentiation was assessed. After geographical and ecological stratification of the available 922 relevés, 288 remained. Classification, by applying cluster analysis, resulted in seven vegetation units defined by species composition which represent the geographical and ecological variation of Fagus orientalis forests. DCA ordination was applied to these units by passively projecting their chorological structure, as supplementary variables. For more detailed interpretation of vegetation types with similar geographic distribution patterns, PCA was applied by passively projecting the chorological elements, life-forms and topographical factors as supplementary variables. Seven vegetation units representing the geographical and ecological variety of Fagus orientalis forests were described. Four vegetation units represent the core area of Fagus orientalis distribution on the western and middle coast of the Black Sea region (Euxine region); the remaining three types represent the distribution in the eastern Black Sea region (Colchic region), the distribution in western and southern Anatolia under the influence of the Mediterranean climate and the distribution in the transitional zone from the Euxine region to the continental parts of Inner Anatolia, respectively. The four vegetation types in Euxine region reflect the decreasing effect of Black Sea towards Inner Anatolia, as well as altitudinal differences, except the forest type representing forests on calcareous sites. The other three vegetation units represent ravine, lowland to montane and altimontane forests in Euxine region. Fagus orientalis forests could be distinguished by their floristic composition, their chorological elements and life-forms spectra, which reflect a geographical and ecological gradients.

“…The association Carici remotae-Fraxinetum oxycarpae was established in the territory of Abruzzo in Italy [27,28], and later on also in other parts of the Apennine Peninsula [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] and southern Europe [36,37]. This community occupies lowland localities along river banks or depressions between deposits which are under the influence of the periodically flooding or high groundwater.…”

“…(2) The second group is dominated by Ostrya carpinifoila, Quercus pubescens and Carpinus orientalis. Such vegetation can be found along the coast in the submediterranean area, on steep slopes with shallow soils on carbonate mountain chains that separate the coast and the continent, such as the Dinaric Alps or SharPindos mountain range and on dry calcareous sites in the hinterland [62][63][64][65].…”

The article provides an overview of deciduous forests of the Balkan Peninsula. It presents riverine, floodplain and moor forests, dominated by Alnus incana, A. glutinosa, Fraxinus excelsior, F. angustifolia , Quercus robur, Salix alba, Ulmus laevis, U. minor; acidophilous forests dominated by Betula pendula, Castanea sativa, Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea; thermophilous forests dominated by Carpinus orientalis, Ostrya carpinifolia, Quercus cerris, Q. farainetto, Q. petraea, Q. pubescens and mesophilous forests dominated by Carpinus betulus, Fagus sylvatica, F. orientalis, Fraxinus excelsior, Tilia argentea, T. cordata, T. platyphyllos, Ulmus glabra.At the same time, forests were classified into the synsystematic framework of the standard Central European system to the level of an alliance. Keywords: Balkan; forest; vegetation; classificationNomenclatural source: Euro+Med Plantbase (http://ww2.bgbm.org/EuroPlusMed) INTRODUCTIONResearch into vegetation in southeastern Europe has a long tradition. The first fundamental works about vegetation in the region were based on the so-called physiognomic-ecological approach and originate from the beginning of the 20 th century, when Gabriel Beck-Mannagetta published his work Vegetationsverhältnisse der illyrischen Län-der [1] and Lujo Adamović his work Vegetationsverhälnisse der Balkanländer [2]. At the beginning of the 20 th century, a new science -phytosociology -was established [3]. Soon after its beginning in Europe, research in the Balkans began according to this method [4] and the new science was widely accepted among researchers in the region. Our presentation is based on the standard Braun-Blanquet method and its hierarchy; so we group associations (ending -etum) into alliances (ending -ion), alliances into orders (ending -etalia) and those into classes (ending -etea) [5]. As a result of long and intensive research in the region, during recent years some important surveys of forest vegetation of some parts of the region has appeared, e.g. Slovenia [6], Croatia [7], Serbia [8], Kosovo [9], Bulgaria [10] and Greece [11,12]. These and many other studies have enabled us to make an overview of forest vegetation of the region.The large number of publications all over Europe encouraged a group of authors guided by Ladislav Mucina to start preparation of an overview over all vegetation types of the whole of Europe to the alliance level, from the Canary Islands to the Urals and from Cyprus to Greenland [13]. It is based on a list of vegetation classes [14] and on a preliminary overview of alliances [15]. During the procedure, literature sources all over Europe have been checked and many nomenclature corrections and some revisions of individual syntaxa have been published, for instance [16,17]. This paper is intended to give an overview of deciduous forests of the region on the alliance lev- DESCRIPTION OF AREAThe Balkan Peninsula has a large altitudinal diversity, since a great part of the territory has an altitude of over 1000 m, and provides a large altitudinal range t...
