42.8 - Mediterranean pine woods

Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Mediterranean and thermo-Atlantic forests of thermophilous pines, mostly appearing as substitution or paraclimactic stages of forests of the Quercetalia ilicis or Ceratonio-Rhamnetalia. Long-established plantations of these pines, within their natural area of occurrence, and with an undergrowth basically similar to that of paraclimactic formations, are included.
