Carpinus orientalis Mill. is a xero-thermophilous tree species that grows mainly on slopes in shallow, humus-poor or even rocky soils, preferring calcareous substrates. In southeastern Europe, C. orientalis is a typical element of sub-Mediterranean vegetation, but it can also be found in warmer sites in the continental regions of its range. Using the Braun-Blanquet sampling methodology, we collected 102 relevés of stands dominated by C. orientalis in five gorges and canyons in Eastern Serbia. Hierarchical cluster analysis of the dataset was performed using Flexible beta and Sørensen (Bray-Curtis) distance measure. Diagnostic, dominant and constant species for the identified clusters were determined using the measure of species fidelity. The results of the numerical analyses showed that the examined stands can be divided into four groups characterized by a distinct floristic composition with clearly defined diagnostic species. The most distinctive group includes stands on screes and stony habitats on steep slopes. Others include stands on both deep and skeletal soils, with different tree species as diagnostic, such as Quercus petraea, Quercus pubescens, Carpinus betulus, etc. All the studied groups are characterized by a high floristic richness, which make stands dominated by C. orientalis in ravine habitats a valuable natural resource worth protecting.
