Moesian [Fagus] forests

[Fagus sylvatica] or [Fagus moesiaca] forests of the Balkan Range, the southern Dinarides, the Moeso-Macedonian mountains, the Pelagonids, the Rhodopids, the Thessalian mountains, reaching their southern limits in the Vermion, the Vernon, the border ranges of northern Macedonia, the Chalkidiki, Greek Thrace, the Olympus group, Ossa and Pelion. [Fagus sylvatica] is accompanied, at the higher altitudes and latitudes, by [Abies alba] and [Picea abies]. The forests have, even in the south of their range, a pronounced medio-European character, marked by the frequency of [Acer pseudoplatanus], [Quercus petraea], [Fragaria vesca], [Oxalis acetosella].
