Abstract

Quercus pyrenaica Willd. is a submediterranean broadleaved semi-deciduous oak whose main world area is located in the Iberan peninsula. In Spain, its current area is about 600,000 ha.

Therefore, most stands are currently coppices, with or without standards. In Central Spain, where this preliminary study has been carried out, it occurs mostly on hillsides and foothills. ...................
