Central European Luzula luzuloides-beech forests (Fagus sylvatica) with Abies alba, with Prenanthes purpurea
Description
In addition to the dominant beech, moderately growing oaks are always scattered in the largely monolayered forests, particularly Quercus petraea, and in fresh-moist forms also Quercus robur, while there is also a varying participation of fir. The growth of the trees is moderate to good. The shrub layer is usually only sparsely developed, consisting primarily of beech upgrowths; the herb layer is also species deficient with a small degree of coverage.
