nemoral

The habitat consists of nemoral forests at low elevations.

Some alpine plants grow in the MB zone, nemoral species are rare.

Data is mainly available on the performance of forestry operations in nemoral broad-leaved forests and swamp forest.

In their study, the scientists classified the acidification of 66 lakes with long-term observations, representative of some 12 700 acid-sensitive lakes in nemoral and boreal Sweden.

This vegetation represents a mix of nemoral and boreal plant species, and belong to the Palearctic Sarmatic mixed forests PA0436 terrestrial ecoregion.

A small area along the southern coast, from Soknedal in southern Rogaland and east to Fevik in Aust-Agder (including Kristiansand) belongs to the Nemoral vegetation zone.

The nemoral species tend to dominate slopes facing south - west and on good soil, while the boreal species dominate on slopes facing north and on waterlogged soil.

The basin of the Kondoma River in Gornaya Shoriya is remarkable for the lime-tree woods which are thought to be the relics of a pre-Pleistocene nemoral vegetation of Siberia.

Neither planted spruce forests in the nemoral zone nor planted monotonous forests on former agricultural land or degraded heathland has been considered as plantations, although a substantial part of that is likely to fulfil the definition of plantation.

Some nemoral species in this zone are English oak, sessile oak, European ash, elm, Norway maple, hazel, black alder, lime, yew, holly (southwest coast), wild cherry, ramsons, beech (a late arriver and only common in Vestfold) and primrose.
