The conditions that contributed to the existence and development of this forest community are specific, which distinguishes it from other forests in this area. This community occupies the highest positions in Štavljanske Breze, at the altitudes between 1070 and 1200 m. These are the prominent positions with varying slopes on southern, south-western, western and south-southeastern aspects. The bedrock is the same for all adler communities at this locality and it consists of gravel, sand and clay. The greatest part of the area is under pseudogley, and only some smaller micro-depressions along the streams are under marsh-gley soil. A rather high amount of precipitation, characteristic of humid regions, is compensated by a long-lasting snow cover (mostly for 96 days) and by a small intensity of evaporation thanks to the severe, cold and long winter and rather low temperatures in other months. The community of common adler and gray adler on Pešter is a very poor forest plant community, but this is the consequence of poor conditions both for annual and multiannual development of plants in all layers caused by constant adverse effects of zoo-anthropogenic factors. The community of gray and common adler Alnetum glutinosae-incanae on Pešter is hemicryptophyte-phanerophyte. The percentage of mesophilous plants is 35%, and xerophilous plants account for 16%. The percentage of frigorophilous plants is 9.5%. The prevalent plant species in the community are of wide ecological amplitude and mesophilous plant species.
