[Olea europaea] - [Ceratonia siliqua] woodland
Common name:
Olive - carob woodland
Habitat code:
G2.4
Description:
Thermo-Mediterranean or thermo-Canarian woodland dominated by arborescent [Olea europaea var. sylvestris], [Ceratonia siliqua], [Pistacia lentiscus], [Myrtus communis] or, in the Canary Islands, by [Olea europaea cerasiformis] and [Pistacia atlantica]. Most formations will be listed as arborescent matorral F5.1, but a few stands have a sufficiently tall, closed canopy to qualify for this unit.
