Définition EUR 28

Thermo-Mediterranean or thermo-Canarian woodland dominated by arborescent Olea europaea ssp. sylvestris, Ceratonia siliqua, Pistacia lentiscus, Myrtus communis or, in the Canary Islands, by Olea europaea ssp. cerasiformis and Pistacia atlantica. Most formations will be listed as arborescent matorral (35.12), but a few stands may have a sufficiently tall, closed canopy to qualify for this unit.
Sub-types :
45.11 - Wild olive woodland
Olea europaea ssp. sylvestris - dominated formations. A climax olive forest, with Ceratonia siliqua and Pistacia lentiscus exists on the north flank of Djebel Ichkeul in northern Tunisia.
Elsewhere, the communities most resembling olive forest are found in southern Andalusia (Tamo communis-Oleetum sylvestris: extinct?), in Menorca (Prasio majoris-Oleetum sylvestris),
Sardinia, Sicily, Calabria, Crete.
45.12 - Carob woodland
Ceratonia siliqua - dominated formations, often with Olea europaea ssp. sylvestris and Pistacia lentiscus. The most developed examples, some truly forest-like, are to be found in Tunisia, on
the slopes of the Djebel, where they constitute carob-dominated facies of the wild olive woodlands (45.11), in Mallorca (Cneoro tricocci-Ceratonietum siliquae), in eastern Sardinia, in south-eastern Sicily, in Puglia, in Crete.
45.13 - Canarian olive woodland
Olea europaea ssp. cerasiformis and Pistacia atlantica formations of the Canary Islands.
