32.4 - Western meso-mediterranean calcicolous garrigues

Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Shrubby formations, often low, on mostly calcareous soils of the meso- mediterranean zone of the Iberian peninsula, France, Italy and the large western Mediterranean islands, notably the Balearics, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta and their satellites. Included here are those formations that reach their optimal development within the meso-mediterranean zone although they often enter the thermo- or supra-mediterranean levels. The subdivisions proposed are based on the physiognomically most significant dominants; co-dominance can be indicated by use of multiple codes.
