Subcontinental Oak Forests: History, Diversity and Dynamics.

Roleček J.

Subcontinental oak forests are open-canopy forest communities with species-rich understoreys that include many species with continental distribution ranges. Recent studies of these communities have brought interesting evidence of how the recent structure of Central European lowland forests might have been influenced by past human impact and which species could have occurred in the open-canopy forests of the Early Holocene.
