Seslerio-Tilietum is a rock-outcrop forest association dominated by Tilia cordata or T. platyphyllos. Its tree layer is usually low and open, while the shrub layer is well developed, usually with Corylus avellana. The species-rich herb layer of this forest type is dominated by Sesleria caerulea and contains species of oak-hornbeam forests, thermophilous oak forests and various relict species of open habitats. This association typically occurs in small patches on upper parts of steep rocky slopes on limestone and other base-rich rocks. It is a thermophilous community occurring at altitudes between 250 and 500 m.
