A comparison of these forests with the model of European deciduous forest in Białowieża National Park (NE-Poland) indicates a great similarity. Therefore, eutrophic deciduous forests in Valday can be classified to the Querco-Fagetea class, the Fagetalia sylvaticae order and to the Capinion betuli alliance, despite the absence of hornbeam Carpinus betulus in the region. Rarity of eutrophic deciduous forests in Valday region results probably from strong anthropogenic pressure in the past.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshemiboreal and nemoral eutrophic deciduous forestsbiogeographical characteristicBiałowieża Forest (NE-Poland) and Valday NP (NW-Russia) – biogeographical characteristics of eutrophic deciduous forestsArtykuł
