The work deals with modeling the transition between mesophilous and themophilous forests in temperate vegetation zone by using generalized additive mixed model. The variables were different groups of geomorphological, structural, functional and phyto-geographical factors. The results showed that in along the transition the most important change is of ecological factors. Contrary to expectations, results shows a great importance to the origin of species, which can be explained by relatively constant climate during and after the ice ages.
