Remarques

[16] 42.A5 - Syrian juniper woods : Juniperus drupacea woods of the northern slopes of Mount Parnon and of the Karlik mountain in Thrace, Greece. Part of the formation takes the appearance of an arborescent matorral, listed under 32.135.
[17] 42.A2 - Spanish juniper woods (Juniperion thuriferae) : Forest formations dominated by Juniperus thuriferae of Spain, southern France and Corsica and North Africa. Many communities may be better described as arborescent matorrals, and listed under 32.136; geographical divisions can nevertheless be retained by appending the suffixes of 42.A2 to 32.136.
