Abstract The floristic differentiation of the deciduousQuercus frainetto forests along the climatic gradients of Apennine Italy has been studied. The ecological amplitude of this oak, and the bioclimatological relationships here assessed, suggest potentiality for the growth ofQ. frainetto-rich communities as broad zonal vegetation belt, ranging from NW to SE along the W side of peninsular Italy. Strong floristical and ecological similarities to the balcanic stands are described. The status of real vegetation belt for the ItalianQuercion frainetto s.l. is here emphasized.
