The most strikingly distinctive feature of U\u010dka and \u0106i\u0107arija from the naturalist perspective is the occurrence of beech forest in peak areas above 800 m. These forests are not continuously connected to other beech forests in the littoral range of the Dinaric mountains, but tower like isolated islands above the sub-Mediterranean area. Most of the beech forests belong to the community of\u00a0<strong>littoral beech forest<\/strong>\u00a0association, which shows some distinctively transitional characteristics of the Mediterranean towards the continent; only the peak area of Mount U\u010dka is overgrown with\u00a0<strong>sub-Alpine beech forest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The most important forests in the Mediterranean-montane vegetation zone are\u00a0<strong>hop-hornbean forests with autumn moor grass<\/strong>\u00a0and oaks.<\/p>\n<p>Other, less-frequent forest associations include the sub-Mediterranean\u00a0<strong>sweet chestnut forest<\/strong>\u00a0on the eastern slopes of Mount U\u010dka, and the\u00a0<strong>downy oak and oriental hornbeam forest<\/strong>, which can be found today in the form of degraded thickets and stump forests in the warmest parts of the park.<\/p>\n<p>U\u010dka Nature Park also encompasses relatively large areas afforested with conifers, mainly\u00a0<strong>black pine<\/strong>\u00a0(<em>Pinus nigra<\/em>) and\u00a0<strong>spruce<\/strong>\u00a0(<em>Picea abies<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Forests are home to many endangered and protected plant species, such as spurge laurel (<em>Daphne laureola<\/em>), dogtooth violet (<em>Erythronium dens-canis<\/em>), martagon lily (<em>Lilium martagon<\/em>), and many more. Despite the fact that all three mentioned species are rare and endangered, they are still often gathered by day-trippers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forest habitats in U\u010dka Nature Park are the most numerous, covering more than 70% of the total park area.
