[Pinus halepensis] forests

General Information Species Legal instrument Next sub-divisions Photos Natura

Common name:

Aleppo pine forests

Habitat code:

G3.74

Description:

Woods of [Pinus halepensis], a frequent colonist of thermo- and calcicolous meso-mediterranean scrubs not on coastal dunes (otherwise see unit B1.71). The distinction between spontaneous forests and long-established formations of artificial origin is often difficult. The latter are thus included here, while recent, obviously artificial groves are not.
