Abstract
The aim of this research to show floristic and ecological characteristics of acidophilus beach forest with mosses (Musco – Fagetum moesiacae B. Jov. 1976) in the area of Jelova gora.The studied type of soil in this forest community was dystric cambisol,which finds on sericite schist. Only ten plant species was recorded in this plant community (eight vascular plants and two species of mosses - Polytrichum commune and Leucobryum glaucum), so we can conclude that this plant community is very floristic poor. On bases floristic structure, spectrum of life forms and ekological spectrum are done. The phanerophytes have the highest share in community. The results of the study showed that investigated forest community was mesophilic, acidophilic to neutrofilic, mesotrophic, sciophilic to sub-sciophilic and mesothermophilic.
