T39 Mediterranean and Balkan subalpine Pinus heldreichii-Pinus peuce forest
Evergreen coniferous forest of timberlines in the mountains of the Balkans and southern Italy, dominated by Bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii) on base-rich soils in more sunny and drought-prone situations or by Macedonian pine (Pinus peuce) mostly on siliceous soils.
Remark: This habitat should be divided into two, one dominated by Pinus heldreichii and the other by Pinus peuce, because the ecology and floristic composition of these two pine forests are very different.
