45.31 - Meso-Mediterranean holm-oak forests

Classification des habitats du Paléarctique (2001)

Description

Rich meso-Mediterranean Quercus ilex forests, penetrating locally, mostly in ravines, into the thermo-Mediterranean zone. They are often degraded to arborescent matorral (unit 32.11), and some of the types listed below no longer exist in the fully developed forest state relevant to category 45; they have nevertheless been included, both to provide appropriate codes for use in 32.11, and because restoration may be possible.
