| Definition | Boreal and subarctic [Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii] woods and thickets of Iceland, extreme southwestern Greenland and oceanic western Norway, distributed in lowlands, in valleys and at the foot of mountain slopes, in relatively humid, sheltered situations.

Their stature varies with microclimates, dense low scrubs prevailing along the coasts, in wind-exposed localities and in the most oceanic areas, taller brushes and woods forming further inland and in more continental districts. |
