Abstract: In the present study, a phytosociological and floristic analysis is conducted on the Carpino-Fagetum Paucă 1941 association, identified in the northern part of the Semenic Mountains in southwestern Romania. The research aims to perform a floristic, phytocenological, ecological, conservative, and economic study of the Banat beech and hornbeam forests identified in the northern part of the Semenic Mountains. The phytocoenoses of these forests have been analyzed in terms of physiognomy, floristic composition, life form spectrum, floristic elements, and the influence of ecological indicators: soil moisture, temperature and soil chemical reaction. The conclusions synthesize the research results, highlighting the necessity for thorough investigations of natural forest ecosystems. The analysis carried out for the Carpino-Fagetum Paucă 1941 association demonstrates its stability both in terms of economic equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium. Regarding the composition of the Carpino-Fagetum Paucă 1941 association, the conducted research highlights relevant results regarding the biodiversity of the Semenic Mountains compared to the Codru-Moma Mountains, according to Pășcuț’s 2012 study.
