Green alder (Alnus viridis) forms dense thickets (alder groves) in the water catchment areas and on the slopes where the water table is shallow and the soil is very moist, often with water seepage and surface runoff.

The European Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is a deciduous broadleaf tree that can reach considerable sizes; its bark is grey, smooth, and compact; the leaves are elliptical, with a crenate margin and a characteristic shiny appearance.
