Handbook of Pollinators Regenereting Forests in Europe: The Class Epilobietea Angustifolii

The plant communities of the Epilobietea angustifolii class represent a phytosociological group characteristic of pioneer, heliophilous, and post-disturbance environments, particularly following forest fires, avalanches, logging activities, or soil removal in temperate and boreal regions of Europe.From an ecological perspective, these communities represent early stages of vegetation succession that promote soil stabilization, nutrient cycling, and the gradual establishment of woody species. Moreover, they provide critical resources-nectar, pollen, and shelter-for a wide range of pollinators, including hymenopterans, dipterans, and lepidopterans, especially during periods of floral scarcity in the landscape.This handbook is intended for ecologists, botanists, environmental managers, policy-makers, and anyone interested in integrating ecological knowledge into forest management, post-fire restoration, and pollinator conservation strategies.
