The floristic differentiation of the deciduous Quercus frainetto forests along the climatic gradients of Apennine Italy has been studied. The ecological amplitude of this oak, and the bioclimatological relationships here assessed, suggest potentiality for the growth of Q. frainetto-rich communities as broad zonal vegetation belt, ranging from NW to SE along the W side of peninsular Italy. Strong floristical and ecological similarities to the balcanic stands are described. The status of real vegetation belt for the Italian Quercion frainetto s.l. is here emphasized.

Abstract
The floristic differentiation of the deciduous Quercus frainetto forests along the climatic gradients of Apennine Italy has been studied. The ecological amplitude of this oak, and the bioclimatological relationships here assessed, suggest potentiality for the growth of Q. frainetto-rich communities as broad zonal vegetation belt, ranging from NW to SE along the W side of peninsular Italy. Strong floristical and ecological similarities to the balcanic stands are described. The status of real vegetation belt for the Italian Quercion frainetto s.l. is here emphasized.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
