Remarks

EuroVegChecklist

asa01 | The Abietetalia sibiricae forms a zonal geographical margin of the Carpino-Fagetea in the Urals, at the eastern limit of its range and it represents a relict nemoral (subnemoral) vegetation type of Siberia. The floristic differences between this order and the Carpino-Fagetea are obvious and deserve to be recognised at the level of class (see Zhitlukhina & Ermakov in Willner et al. 2016a for the formal description of the class). This vegetation occurs on moist nutrient-rich loamy soils in the foothills and low mountain ranges (300−800 m a.s.l.) of the Southern Urals and in isolated refugial areas of Southern Siberia, characterised by local ultra-humid low-continental climate. (N. Ermakov).
