Pruno-Ligustretum is an association of species-rich, dense thermophilous scrub dominated or co-dominated by Cornus sanguinea, Corylus avellana, Crataegus monogyna s. l., Ligustrum vulgare, Prunus spinosa, Rosa canina agg. and other species. Its herb layer contains a mixture of species of forests, dry and mesic grasslands, and some nutrient-demanding ruderal species. This association is common in lowlands and colline landscapes over a broad range of mesic and dry habitats, mainly developed as secondary scrub but in some places also as natural vegetation.
