They include, in particular, the xero-mesophile [Quercus dalechampii]-dominated forests, sometimes mixed with [Quercus cerris], [Quercus frainetto] or [Fraxinus excelsior], with [Carpinus orientalis], [Ostrya carpinifolia] or [Fraxinus ornus] often present and sometimes abundant, widespread in the durmast oak-hornbeam, 600-1200 metre, belt of the Rhodopides and the Moeso-Macedonian mountains, drier than the [Carpinus betulus]-[Quercus dalechampii] forests of unit 41.2C35 (Corine). [Ruscus aculeatus] is often present and sometimes subdominant in their undergrowth. They also include local formations of the upper supra-Mediterranean level of northern and middle Greece, mostly of the Pindus and of crystalline or metamorphic ranges of the southern Moeso-Macedonian mountains and Rhodopides, likewise altitudinally inserted between [Quercus frainetto] and beech forests.
