This paper presents new typology of Slovenian forests sites, based on ecological and floristic similarity of forest plant communities. The first main group consists of forest site types on the carbonate and mixed carbonate-silicate rocks. In the second main group are forest site types on the silicate rocks. Forests on the carbonate and mixed carbonate-silicate rocks have been classified into five altitudinal belts: lowland forests, colinar-submontane forests, submontane-montane forests, montane-altimontane forests, altimontane-subalpine forests. Forests on the silicate rocks have been classified into four altitude zones: colinar-submontane forests, submontane-montane forests, montane-altimontane forests, altimontane-subalpineforests. In this paper we propose a new Slovenian description for forest site types, show a link to the system of forest community names (syntaxa) in the previous database of Slovenian Forest Serviceand to the newer names of forest syntaxa.
