Ecological and floristic characteristics of the new subassociation of the Balkan beech and Greek maple plant community with hornbeam (Aceri heldreichii-Fagetum subass. carpinetosum betuli) were studied. This subassociation is recorded and described on Mt. Rudnik, where it occurs at the elevations 950- 1,050 m, on moderate to steep inclinations (10-30°), and cold aspects: northern, northwestern and northeastern. Bedrock consists of sandstones and mudstones. The biological spectrum, ecological spectra and spectrum of distribution types of this community were calculated. The community has phanerophyte-hemicryptophyte character, it is mesophilous regarding soil moisture requirements and temperature requirements, it is neutrophilous to soil acidity, according to light requirements it is tolerant to semi-tolerant. The most numerous group of distribution types is Central European, which confirms the mesophilous character of this community.
