From a total of 232 original phytosociological relevés we classifi ed eight plant communities (plus several subunits). The plant communities were assigned to associations of the class Quercetea ilicis, herein specifi cally to the alliances Erico-Quercion ilicis, Quercion calliprini and Aceri-Cupression sempervirentis. Correspondence analysis revealed a separation of the chiefl y calcifuge Quercus ilex and Q. pubescens associations with more favourable water supply from the woodlands dominated by Q. coccifera, Acer sempervirens, Cupressus sempervirens and Pinus brutia, growing on hard limestone under drier conditions. Species composition in the latter group of woodlands follows an altitudinal gradient, expressing favourable moisture and, on Plattenkalk, nutrient supply at higher elevations. An ecogram was drawn displaying the relative ecological range of each community along moisture and temperature gradients. Silvopastoral impact was different at species response level, and 'tolerators', 'indicators', and 'avoiders' of grazing may be distinguished. Floristic differentiation related to wood-pasture within given associations was not found, indicating high grazing pressure throughout the stands. In most wood-pastures, especially broadleaved (semi-)evergreen, stands are structurally unbalanced, lack tree rejuvenation and require periods of regeneration from browsing. To allow regeneration and monitoring, we advocate sets of sizable exclosures in different areas and elevations, representing all relevant associations.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: Stuttgart&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaideftou, Evgenia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thanos, Costas a</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bergmeier, Erwin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kallimanis, Athanasios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dimopoulos, Panayotis</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seed bank composition and above-ground vegetation in response to grazing in sub-Mediterranean oak forests (NW Greece)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Ecology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">á ruminants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deciduous oak forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">deciduous oak forests á</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">grazing á browsing á</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grazing Browsing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">greece</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">greece á wild boar</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruminants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil seed bank</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">soil seed bank á</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wild boar</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wood pasture</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">wood pasture á</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11258-008-9548-1http://link.springer.com/10.1007/s11258-008-9548-1</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">201</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">255 - 265</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1125800895</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We investigate the persistent soil seed bank composition and its relation to the above-ground ﬂora of grazed and non-grazed sub-Mediterranean deciduous oak forests of NW Greece.

The dominant tree species and many woodland species found in the above-ground vegetation were absent from the soil seed bank. Similarity between the soil seed bank and the aboveground vegetation decreased with grazing, and grazing led to a decrease of species richness in above-ground vegetation and soil seed bank.

Beta diversity of the soil seed bank declined with grazing. When applying classiﬁcation tree and logistic regression analyses, non-grazed forest sites are clearly differentiated by the presence of Phillyrea latifolia, Euphorbia amygdaloides and Brachypodium sylvaticum.
