I. Trinajstić, Z. Cerovečki: PRILOG SINTAKSONOMSKOJ ANALIZI ASOCIJACIJE Erico-Fagetum (HT. 1962) ... Šumarski list br. 3–4, CXXIX (2005), 135-142
characteristic for the order Quercetalia pubescentis (e.g. Ostrya carpinifolia,
Fraxinus ornus, Acer obtusatum, Sorbus aria, Sesleria autumnalis, etc.).
Worth of noting in the association floristic composition are the species Acer
obtusatum and Sesleria autumnalis, which in addition to characterizing the
subass. aceretosum obtusati subass. nova., connect syndinamically the ass.
Erico-Fagetum with the associations Aceri obtusati-Fagetum on one side and
Seslerio autumnalis-Fagetum on the other side. A further research in that
direction will be able to document with the field data. The abundant presence
of the species Erica carnea suggests a considerable floristic relationship of
the ass. Erico-Fagetum with the ass. Erico-Ostryetum and ass. Genisto januensis-
Pinetum, their connection in addition to such floristic relationship
being manifested also by progressive and regressive successions.


On this occasion, syntaxonomical revision of the views supported earlier
by H o r v a t et al. (1974) and recently by Wi l l n e r (2002) has been made. In
fact, after the insufficient description and wrong synsystematical classification
of the ass. Erico-Fagetum by H o r v a t (1962), Tr i n a j s t i ć (1972), at
the end of a critical synsystematical analysis, subordinated these forests to
the group of the Illyrian beech forests of the alliance Fagion illyricum
(= Aremonio-Fagion). Although this association is not mentioned by H o r v
a t et. al. (1974) in the presentation of the vegetation of Southeastern
Europe, from the floristic composition presented in the syntetic Table no. 102,
columm 12, it can be concluded that the ass. Erico-Fagetum is subordinated
to the association Erico-Ostryetum, and Wi l l n e r (2002) in his presetation
of “the syntaxonomical revision of the South and Central European beech
forests” subordinates ass. Erico-Fagetum to the association Ostryo-Fagetum,
while the Dinaric-Illyrian complex of beech forests of the alliance Aremonio-
Fagion (= Fagion illyricum) is subordinated by him to, Central European
complex of beech forests of the alliance Asperulo-Fagion, that in our opinion
(cf. Tr i n a j s t i ć 2004) is a typical Central European view.


Syntaxonomically, the ass. Erico-Fagetum, as well as all known thermophilous
beech forests of Croatia, is subordinated to the suballiance
Ostryo-Fagenion, the alliance Aremonio-Fagion, the order Fagetalia sylvaticae
and the class Querco-Fagetea.
