The Forest of Soignes or Sonian Forest (French: Forêt de Soignes, Dutch: Zoniënwoud) is a 43 km² forest on the southeast of Brussels, Belgium, which stretches out over the three regions of Belgium, the Brussels-Capital Region (38 %), the Flemish Region (56 %) and the Walloon Region (6 %). The forest is mostly planted with European beeches and oaks.

Research (745 words)
The objectives of this study are: (1) to investigate whether, within clearcuts, microclimate gradients are detectable; and (2) to test for correlations between plant species composition and microclimatic heterogeneity, to determine which aspects of the microclimate might influence vascular plant composition in the clearcut environment.
The plant species composition of forest patches in the Brussels area are inventoried in order to analyse the influence of the patch surface, patch shape and their spatial distribution in an urban environment.
In the Sonian Forest, it is not rare to meet healthy beeches near more or less degraded ones, and this under apparently identical habitat conditions (soil type, topography).
