Oleo-lentisc brush

EUNIS habitat type code	F5.511	Level	5
Edition	EUNIS Habitat Classification 2012 - a revision of the habitat classification descriptions.

Description ( English )

Usually pluri-specific scrub in which [Olea europaea var. sylvestris] accompanied by [Pistacia lentiscus] plays a determinant physiognomic role. Almost entirely restricted to the thermo-Mediterranean zone, they are represented by particularly well-developed, extensive stands in southern Iberia, the Balearics, Sardinia, Sicily, southern Greece and the Aegean, Mediterranean Anatolia, Cyprus and the Levant, North Africa. When the characteristic species increase in height they grade into arborescent matorral (unit F5.12).
