[Excerpt] This is a common species across the majority of its large range. There are no reported range wide threats currently impacting on this species. It is therefore assessed as Least Concern. [::Common Name(s)] [::]English - Common Hornbeam, Caucasian Hornbeam, Hornbeam [::Range Description] This species is found in Europe, Northern Anatolia, the Caucasus and Russia. It has become naturalized over a wide area. [::Countries] Native:Albania; Armenia (Armenia); Austria; Azerbaijan; Belarus; Belgium; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Croatia; Czech Republic; Denmark; Estonia; France; Georgia; Germany; Greece; Hungary; Iran, Islamic Republic of; Italy; Latvia; Liechtenstein; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of; Moldova; Montenegro; Netherlands; Poland; Romania; Russian Federation (Central European Russia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetiya, Kabardino-Balkariya, Kaliningrad, Karachaevo-Cherkessiya, Krasnodar, Severo-Osetiya, South European Russia, Stavropol); Serbia (Serbia); Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Turkey (Turkey-in-Asia, Turkey-in-Europe); Ukraine (Krym, Ukraine (main part)); United Kingdom (Great Britain) [::Population] This is a common species across the majority of its range. This species is listed as Vulnerable (D1+2) in the Red List of Spanish vascular flora, but it is thought to only be locally rare.~This species is listed as Least Concern in Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Great Britain.~It dominates broad leaved forests, with~Quercus iberica,~throughout Western Asia (up to 1,000-1,200 m asl). Due to it being a common species across its range there are no hard data on population numbers. [::Habitat and Ecology] A deciduous tree growing up to 20 m high and occasionally up to 30 m. It is found in broad leaved deciduous forests (Quercus-Fagus) or mixed forests (Abies-Picea-Fagus), or sometimes forming pure stands on level ground. The species is resistant to bark damage when it is chewed by animals, even when the outer surface is completely removed the exposed cambium often heals over completely. Regeneration is a slow process, as most seeds are taken by animals and birds, and seed germination can take two to three years. [::Use and Trade] The wood is heavy and very hard and is used for tools and building construction and traditionally was used for ox yokes, chopping boards and heavy beams. It also burns hot and slowly, making it a very suitable firewood; it has a calorific value almost equal to coal. This species is cultivated as an ornamental tree, and because it stands up well to cutting back and has dense foliage, it has been much used as hedging and for topiary; several cultivars are available. [::Major Threat(s)] No known threats have been documented for this species.
