Abstract: | This work aims to review the natural communities of Pinus halepensis in Spain. The
methodology consisted of subjecting 400 phytosociological relevés to georeferencing and statistical,
biogeographical, and bioclimatic treatment. We analyse the communities of Pinus halepensis on
the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Five syntaxa with association rank are described in
several works and included in the alliances Rhamno-Quercion and Oleo-Ceratonion. Ephedro-Pinetum
halepensis was initially proposed as a community by Torres et al. and subsequently raised to the rank of
association by Rivas-Martínez et al. In this work, we have separated the plant communities dominated
by Pinus halepensis, which was previously included in other syntaxa, and as a result, we propose four
new associations and a new alliance for the Iberian Peninsula: ass. Bupleuro rigidi-Pinetum halepensis;
ass. Ephedro nebrodensis-Pinetum halepensis; ass. Rhamno angustifoliae-Pinetum halepènsis; ass. Rhamno
laderoi-Pinetum halepensis; all. Rhamno lycioidis-Pinion halepensis. In view of the fact that some of the
communities have been published as edaphoxerophilous and climatophilous, we suggest separating
the climatophilous from the edaphoxerophilous character in the diagnosis of the communities, and
have therefore recently proposed the ombroedaphoxeric index Ioex (Ioex = Pp e/Tp CR), which
considers positive precipitation Pp, positive temperature Tp, residual evapotranspiration (e), and
water retention capacity CR (0.25, 0.50, 0.75). In conclusion, we propose the associations mentioned
above, which will allow the implementation of a reforestation treatment in accordance with the
natural environment. |
