Italian term or phrase: antichi querco-carpineti planiziali

Context:
1B. Il Bosco del Merlino
Dalla Cascina di Migliabruna, il percorso conduce alla Cascina di Streppe, antica grangia del ‘200, e prosegue, attraverso la vasta campagna, sino a Caramagna Piemonte, che conserva diversi beni di interesse storico. In quest’area si estende il Bosco del Merlino, uno dei pochi ancora presenti nella pianura piemontese, Sito di Interesse Comunitario e residuo di eccezionale valore naturalistico degli antichi querco-carpineti planiziali che un tempo ricoprivano gran parte della pianura padana.

ancient oak-hornbeam woodlands

Explanation:
Planiziali is a variant of 'planiziari', you could do without this adjective in English since you shall have to specify that detail when translating "che un tempo ricoprivano gran parte della pianura padana".

Ancient lowland forests of oak and hornbeam

Explanation:
I would now suggest that, from the context, "planiziale" means of the plain, of the lowland, hence a very different kind of forest from that of the hill and mountains. The rest I already said in the discussion post. "Carpine" is hornbeam, hence "carpineto" is a hornbeam wood, "querco-carpineto" is a wood of oak and hornbeam, and "antichi querco-carpineti" are the ancient forests of oak and hornbeam.
