Vegetation
In the north, mixed forests dominated by pine, oak and alder,
also with extensive bogs. To the south a zone of mixed forests and steppe,
with rich soils, nearly all the steppe converted into farmland; the forests
are of oak and hornbeam, but with pine in river terraces and beech in the
west. South of this zone is steppe covering 40% of the country, dominated
by xerophytic grasses; Artemisia on the saline soils of the northern
shores of the Black and Azov seas.
In the southwest are the Carpathian mountains with five vegetation belts,
from bottom to top: submontane forest, mainly of oak and hornbeam (200–450
m); lower montane belt of beech (450–1450 m); upper montane belt of spruce
forest (450–1450 m); subalpine shrub belt (1300–1670 m); and lastly an alpine
belt of high-montane grassland (up to 1850 m). In the much smaller Crimean
mountains along the Black Sea coast in the south of the Crimea peninsula,
an extraordinarily rich flora in three vegetation belts: lower submediterranean
belt of oak and other Mediterranean shrubs (up to 400 m); middle forest belt
of pine, oak, hornbeam and ash (400–800 m); and upper forest belt of beech
(800–1300 m).
