We introduce a new, valid name of the class of nemoral coniferous or mixed forests <em>(Asaro europaei-Abietetea sibiricae)</em> replacing the deciduous <em>Carpino-Fagetea</em> in the easternmost Europe and Siberia. We describe two new orders for birch and birch-poplar woodlands, formerly included in the <em>Betulo pendulae-Populetalia tremulae</em>. We validate the names of two alliances for the deciduous forests of the Southern Urals and the name of an alliance for hemiboreal forest swamps. The suballiance <em>Ostryo-Tilienion</em>, coined to accommodate the xerothermophilous<br>ravine forests of SE Europe, is here elevated to the rank of alliance.<br>Finally, we validate the name <em>Quercion alnifoliae</em> (evergreen oak forests of Cyprus).</p> ER -
