The following forest phytocoenosis show to be very interesting from a phytogeographic point of view: beechwoods with silver fir (Aceri lobelii-Fagetum abietetosum albae), gorge mesophilous mixed woods (Aceretum obtusato-pseudoplatani) of which the new subassassociation aceretosum lobelii is described, turkey oak woods (Aremonio agromonioidisi-Quercetum cerridis). As far as grasslands is concerned, the presence of the semi-mesophilous Polygalo flavescentis-Brachypodietum rupestris, typical of northern territories, is highlighted.
