In addition to the tree species found in Germany there are of economic value four species of pine (Pinus austriaca, cembra, pinea, ), two oaks {Quercus ilex and suber), and the chestnut (Caslanea vesca). Conifer forest is prevailing in Austria (with 82%), deciduous forest in Hungary, mostly beech and oak (with 75%); 27% being oak in pure stands. The following pages refer to Austria proper, Hun- garian conditions being treated separately further on.
