Spruce forests from the Ceahlău Mountain

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Biology - Plant Biology - Year 2007, Vol 50, Issue 0

Abstract

The aim of our research is to describe the characteristics of the spruce forests from the Ceahlău Mountain. The research area was the central part of the northern Oriental Carpathians, where the spruce forests form a continuous belt between the altitudes of 1010 m and 1820 m, the upper limit being just below the sub-alpine plateau. Based on a significant number of relevés, the spruce communities were classified in three associations belonging to the class Vaccinio-Piceetea, order Picetalia excelsae, alliance Piceion excelsae, which are Soldanello montanae-Piceetum, Hieracio transsilvanio-Piceetum, Leucanthemo waldsteinii-Piceetum. For each association we present the location, the phytosociological and ecological characterisation and the phytosociological table of relevés.
