J. Vukelić i D. Baričcvić: NOVIJE FITOCENOLOŠKE SPOZNAJE O BUKOVIM ŠUMAMA U HRVATSKOJ Šumarski list br. 9-10. CXXVI (2002), 439-457 igneous substrate of the Slavonian uplands, in conditions of lower climate humidity and at altitudes above 350 meters. It has a zonal character, and in typological research it is mostly described as Asperulo-Fagetum. It contains a much smaller number and cover oflllyrian species than the previous communities, but the species Vicia oroboides, Knautia drymeia, Ruscus hypoglossum, Aposeris foetida, Epimedium alpinum, Primula vulgaris, Cyclamen purpurascens, Helleborus odorus, Euonimus latifolia, Dentaria polyphylla, Erythronium dens-canis still place it within the alliance Aremonio-Fagion. The position of the hills in which it occurs is responsible for the loss of the Illyrian features and the elements of forests of high terrains, which the association Hacquetio-Fagetum in Slovenia possesses. The acidophilic nature is sporadically present, as the stands of this community are frequently surrounded by the community Luzulo-Fagetum. Beech forest with sedge (Carici pilosae-Fageturn) occurs on Bilogora and Kalnik and on the edges and in lower parts (as low as 200 m), and only rarely on the tops and higher parts of other Slavonian hills. It differs profoundly from the three previous associations, displaying independence in its floral composition, ecological conditions and physiognomy. The floral composition is dominated by the species of the Central European floral geo-element of the alliance Fagion and the order Fagetalia. In Croatia, this clearly differentiates it from the community Vicio oroboidi-Fagetum. The characteristic species are Festuca drymeia and Cephalanthera longifolia, while the very frequent Carex pilosa and Rubus hirtus have a large cover. Due to insufficient field recordings and broader comparisons, beech stands dominated by the species Carex pilosa and Festuca drymeia have been equated with the community Carici pilosae-Fagetum from Central Europe in both this paper and in past phytocoenological presentations in Croatia, although there are considerable differences between them. The proper description, range and syntaxonomic position of this community will be established in future research. The research is being extended to encompass those parts of beech forests in Croatia which have not been adequately studied so far (Slavonian hills, Banovina, Kordun, the Ogulin area, Međimurje area). The research will also include lower units of the association. |
