Abstract: This paper describes the slightly acidic
hill forests of Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. with Tilia
tomentosa Mill. from the Republic of Moldova, grouped into
3 associations: Carpino orientalis-Quercetum petraeae
Pînzaru, Sfecla et Cantemir, ass. nov. hoc loco, Tilio
tomentosae-Quercetum petraeae Sârbu 1979 corr. Pînzaru,
Sfecla et Cantemir hoc loco, Hieracio umbrosi-Quercetum petraeae
Pînzaru, Cantemir, Manic & Popescu 2017 from the suballiance
Tilio tomentosae-Quercion petraeae (Pînzaru &
Cantemir 2023) Pînzaru, Sfecla et Cantemir, stat. nov. hoc
loco. These associations occur on plateaus, in the upper part
of the hills, at an altitude of 138-367 m, on yellow sands, devoid
of soil, or on virgin brown or gray luvic soils, formed on sandy,
loamy-clayey rocks, with the pH value ranging from 4.5 to 6.0.
The phytocoenoses of the associations Carpino orientalis-Quercetum
petraeae, Hieracio umbrosi-Quercetum petraeae are
rare and it is proposed to include them in the future List
of rare associations in the Republic of Moldova.
