The present study aims to analyze the different plant associations within the Domogled-Valea Cernei and Semenic Cheile Carașului National Parks, where beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the dominant species. The beech forests in the study area are recognized as part of a network of habitats with a high degree of conservation importance or even part of a UNESCO site, as is the case with the virgin beech forest at Izvoarele Nerei. This paper analyzed the beech forests from a qualitative point of view, namely based on the field identification of several habitats present in the specialized literature that refers to the area of interest. It should be noted that quantitative studies were also carried out, such as several phytosociological surveys or the measurement of several abiotic parameters
