Abstract

Sessile oak (Quercus petraea) in Trentino-Alto Adige (east-central Alps, northern Italy) forms the Luzulo niveae-Quercetum petraeae association, which develops between 200 and 1,300 m above sea level on siliceous substrates (granites, porphyries, and gneiss). This association occurs in three sectors: pre-Alpine (hygric-pluvial continentality below 45°), Alpine (index between 40° and 66°) and endo-Alpine (index above 52°). The Quercus petraea series [Luzulo niveae-Querceto petraeae sigmetum] is composed of forests (Luzulo niveae-Quercetum petraeae), xeric meadows (Stipo-Seselietum variae, Festuco-Caricetum supinae and Tunico-Koelerietum gracilis), heaths (Chamaecytiso hirsuti-Callunetum) and mantles (Pteridio-Sarothamnetum and Corylo-Populetum avellanae).
