N1E Black Sea broad-leaved coastal dune forest
Natural or semi-natural tree and tree-shrub communities on coastal dunes along the Black Sea coast. The forests on larger dunes have xerothermic features, the trees being small and strongly branched while on smaller dunes species more typical of alluvial forest are found. Lianas are frequent. Although non-disturbed stands are dominated by native species, invasive aliens such as Amorpha fruticosa, Robinia pseudoacacia and Elaeagnus angustifolia can be frequent.
