Flowers

monoecious species

Flower ecology

wind-pollinated (anemophilous)

Life form

woody, tree

Leaves

dark green, leathery leaves

Foliage persistence

deciduous or semi-deciduous

Fruits

acorns in cupules which are covered with triangular hairy scales

Fruit ecology

gravity- dispersed (barochorous) and animal-dispersed (zoochorous) (esp. Eurasian jays)

Soil conditions

preferentially on dry, warm, nutrient-rich and alkaline (mostly on limestone), medium profound, loam or stone soils that are rich in humus (duff)

Root type

deep-rooted (taproot)

Natural occurrence (habitat)

dry oak forests and shrubs, thermophilic mixed deciduous forests, dry hills, sunny slopes (vineyards)

Vegetation typ and synecology (plant community)

temperate/sub-Mediterranean mixed mesophytic to mesophytic/xerophytic broad-leaved deciduous forests; character species of the Quercetum pubescenti-petraeae

Usage

wood is mainly used as firewood, otherwise for construction and furniture; occasionally taken in traditional medicine because of high level of tannins in the leaves and the bark

Phytopathogenic organisms

is highly susceptible to the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora quercina, which contributes to oak death
