“…Only if more fine-grained resolution is required for local-or regionalscale studies, the vegetation types may be, and should be, subject to further differentiation. Fine examples of such local studies were recently presented by Schreiber (1998) and Reif & Löblich-Ille (1999 Barbero & Quézel 1976; Galio odorati-Fagion hellenicum Zoller et al 1977 (art. 2e, 34) Geranium versicolor-Urtica dioica-Fagus sylvatica community association à Fagus silvatica et Geranium striatum (Quézel 1967) Doronico orientalis-Fagenion moesiacae Raus ex Raus 1980 Fagion hellenicum sensu Horvat et al 1974non Quézel 1967Fagion moesiacae Dafis 1973 (p.p.…”

“…Knowledge of Fagus forest vegetation close to its southeastern limits in Europe is, however, only fragmentary: reports of botanical travellers (e.g. Mattfeld 1927;Turrill 1929); material based on geographically scattered relevés (Quézel & Contandriopoulos 1965;Quézel 1967;Barbero & Quézel 1976;Zoller et al 1977;Gamisans & Hebrard 1979; vegetation monographs based upon intensive studies within restricted areas (e.g. Raus 1980;Bergmeier 1990;Theodoropoulos 1991;Habeck & Reif 1994;Schreiber 1998;Reif & Löblich-Ille 1999).…”

Abstract. This is the first comprehensive study on Fagus sylvatica s.l. forest communities in Greece. It is based on the multivariate analysis of more than 1100 relevés throughout the distribution area of Fagus in Greece, 60 % of which have been sampled within the last 15 years. The data were compiled from all relevant literature and from unpublished field studies. Prior to data analysis, taxonomic and floristic inaccuracies in older literature have been corrected, and some taxa aggregated. Status and distribution of Fagus in Greece, as well as historical and silvicultural aspects, are outlined. Classification resulted in 16 vegetation types defined by species composition, of which 10 units are ranked as association (of which two were described as new) or community, with six subcommunities included. Synonyms from the literature are given to all types. The floristic structure of the data set is displayed by a synoptic table and by DCA ordination. Community differentiation follows a complex edaphic‐climatic‐phytogeographic pattern. Apart from Fagus sylvatica ssp. orientalis forests of warm and dry habitats and low to medium altitudes which are related to deciduous Quercus forests, four Fagion community groups are distinguished which represent different habitat types: (1) cool, humid, mesotrophic; (2) cool, acidic; (3) high altitude, calcareous; (4) medium altitude, moderately warm and dry. The communities may be assigned to three regional suballiances, viz. (a) Doronico orientalis‐Fagenion at medium altitudes of North‐Central and East‐Central Greece; (b) Doronico columnae‐Fagenion in the far north and at high altitudes southward to East‐Central Greece; (c) Geranio striati‐Fagenion in the Northwest. Various types of thermophilous beech forest are assigned to (a) and (c), acidic forest to (b), and mesic Fagus forest to (b) and (c).

“…Moreover, it must be noted the complete lack of character species of Erico-Pinetea and lower syntaxa. From the proposed syntaxonomical frame, derives that the alliance Chamaecytiso-Pinion should be preferably maintained into the order Quercetalia pubescentis as formerly proposed by BARBERO & QUEZEL (1976 (6,8); Linum elegans (7,9); Dac~1i.s glomeratn (6,7); Trifoiirim ochrolericon (7,9); Coronilla varia (7,lO); Astragakis angristifolius (3); Cephalanthera rubra (1); Cicerbita muralis (1); Digitalis lanata (1); Fragaria vesca (I); Geum urbanrrm (1); Koeleria cristata (3); Larnium striatum (2); Lonicera graeca (3); Loranthus europaeus (2); Solidago virguuurea (6); Brachypodium sylvaticum (6); Larhyrus inermis (7); Helleborus cyclophyllus (8); Pedicrilaris graecu (6); Podanthum lirnonfolium (7); Sideritis raeseri ( 10); Sesleria coerulescens (9); Doronicum columnae (9).…”

“…(7); Elytrigiti corsicti (1) Notes: Up to now, the syntaxonomical treatment of this vegetation was various and heterogeneous. Previous authors included the described associations either to Querco-Fagetea (CHOUCHANI et al 1974;BARBERO & QUEZEL 1976AKMAN et al 1979 Astragalo-Brornetea (AKMAN et al 1988, 1991, to Saturejetea spinosae (ZAFFRAN 1990). The surveyed phytocoenoses, for structure and for the dominance of conifers, can be ascribed to the class Pino-Juniperetea.…”
