Spanish fir (Abies pinsapo) grows in the southern part of the ecoregion. Juniper woodlands dominated by Juniperus thurifera, Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus grow on dry, rocky slopes. [2] Mixed forests of pines and broadleaf trees grow at middle to lower elevations in areas with deeper soils and higher humidity.
Middle-elevation forests include deciduous broadleaf trees like Quercus robur, Quercus petraea, Q. pubescens, Castanea sativa, Ulmus glabra, Acer pseudoplatanus, Taxus baccata, Populus tremula, Betula pendula, Betula pubescens and European beech (Fagus sylvatica), and conifer forests of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Pyrenean pine (Pinus ...

If one ignores, for the moment, the influence of the mountains, the typical Mediterranean peninsular forest is made up of evergreen trees: oak forests, cork oaks, wild ...
Wood (Spanish: madera) long was the main source of energy. [1] In the 20th century, efforts were taken to reverse the trend, increasing the forested area in the country from then on. [2] [n. 1] Forests cover roughly 55% of the land in Spain, with 70% privately owned and 27% on public land.
Trees are uncommon. Conifers, including pines, junipers, and Tetraclinis articulata, occasionally grow in the high shrublands. Seasonally-dry streambeds are home to the broadleaf trees Tamarix spp., white poplar (Populus alba), and oleander (Nerium oleander). Garrigue communities grow in drier and rockier areas, often close to the seacoast.
