Preferred label Boreonemoral heath-grass mixed forests
Definition Forests of the boreonemoral transition zone between taiga and temperate lowland deciduous forests in which conifers, [Picea abies], [Picea obovata], [Pinus sylvestris], [Abies sibirica], share the main canopy with deciduous trees, mostly [Quercus robur], but also [Betula pendula], [Betula pubescens] or [Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii], and sometimes, in the extreme southwest of the region, [Fagus sylvatica], accompanied by an undergrowth formed by ericoid shrubs and grasses, in particular, [Deschampsia cespitosa]. A number of subunits can be distinguished with species cortèges similar to those of conifer taiga forests of units G3.A1, G3.B1 or G3.B2, or of deciduous woods of unit G1.8, in particular, G1.81 and G1.821, of units G1.621, G1.918, or G1.91722.
