Central European riverine and floodplain woods of valleys of lowland, often small, slow and even-flowing rivers, usually dominated by Fraxinus excelsior and/or Alnus glutinosa, sometimes with Picea abies, Quercus robur, Fagus sylvatica, with a rich undergrowth of tall herbs and shrubs. They may extend far into the floodplain, becoming progressively richer in Quercus robur and Carpinion species away from the stream or from low-lying areas.
