Eastern [Quercus pubescens] woods

Often varied forests of the supra-Mediterranean (mostly lower supra-Mediterranean), and occasionally meso- or thermo-Mediterranean, levels of Greece, Italy, Dalmatia, the Black Sea coasts and western Asia, in which [Quercus pubescens] or its allies are the dominant deciduous oaks, usually associated with [Ostrya carpinifolia], [Carpinus orientalis], [Carpinus betulus], [Fraxinus ornus] and other species; white oak ([Quercus pubescens], [Quercus virgiliana])-dominated woods, with an Ostryo-Carpinion or Orno-Cotinion cortage, of thermic sub-Mediterranean enclaves within the sub-continental Quercion frainetto and Carpinion illyricum zones of the Balkan peninsula, Pannonia and the southern Carpathians.
