Abstract: In the present study, we conduct a floristic and phytosociological analysis of the Fago-Quercetum petraeae R. Tüxen 1955 association identified in the northern part of the Semenic Mountains in southwestern Romania. The aim of this research is to perform a floristic, phytosociological, ecological, conservative, and economic study of the oak (Quercus petraea) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests identified in the northern part of the Semenic Mountains. The phytocenoses of these forests have been analyzed in terms of physiognomy, floristic structure, life form spectrum, floristic elements, the synecology expressed mainly through main indexes (soil moisture, temperature, and soil reaction), as well as the polyploidy/diploidy ratio. A total of 19 relevées, described from various locations within the Silvicultural Districts of Reșița and Văliug, have been recorded and analyzed in the association table.
Keywords: Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea; association; phytocenosis; relevé; life forms; floristic elements; ecological indices; karyotype spectrum.
