Identity:
Most hygrophilous communities of the mixed mesic Euxino-Hyrcanian forests (units G1.A71, G1.A74). They may include, in particular, Fraxinus angustifolia galleries, as well as dense Alnus barbata forest stands occupying areas of black damp or swampy soils on coastal alluvial plains, with Fraxinus angustifolia and an understorey of Rubus hirtus, Smilax excelsa and other climbers and shrubs, notably of Rosaceae.
