The geology and soils in an interaction with differences in altitude, temperature, rain and snowfall, but also the livestock grazing, contribute to the high variety of ecosystems in the Park which in turn sustain a wide range of plant and animal life. All major types of ecosystems which are typical for Macedonia are also found in the Park: forests, dry grassland, mountain ecosystems and fresh-water ecosystems. The vegetation ranges from heat and scrubs through broadleaved deciduous (the oak and beech) and coniferous (molika pine) woodland to dry siliceous, alpine and sub-alpine grasslands, as well as riparian source edge grassland communities and aquatic habitats. There are thirty-two different natural habitat types in total the Park (see Table 1, Annex I in the Supplement of this Plan) nine of which are forest communities and sixteen grass communities. The systematic classification of the plant communities within the Park is shown in (see Table 2, Annex I in the Supplement of this Plan). Among these two are local endemic communities, that is, they can be found only in the Park, others have restricted distribution (parts of Macedonia or only in the Balkans), and nine are protected by the Bern Convention of the Council of Europe as habitats that require special conservation measures. It should be noticed that the number of habitat types in the Park would be larger if the habitats which are created through human influence and interference as well as the habitats which are not described due to lack of data are added to the list.

Pelister National Park is widely known for its extensive molika forest. Molika – the Macedonian Pine – establishes two plant communities in the Park: the mountainous molika woodland (Digitali viridiflorae – Pinetum peuces), found between 900 and 1.600 m altitude, and the sub-alpine molika woodland (Gentiano luteae – Pinetum peuces) inhabiting its primary habitats between 1.500 and 2100 m altitude and higher in some places.
