Mediterranean wooded pasture and meadow
Description (English)
Open wooded landscapes created and maintained through combinations of traditional grazing, hay-making and tree management in the Mediterranean. Variations in the local climate, topography and interventions, and the accumulation of long cultural traditions of use have resulted in a variety of highly distinctive types such as the dehesas of Spain and montados of Portugal. Typically the tree canopy is of evergreen broadleaved trees, variously with veterans, pollards or coppice, often with elements of sclerophyllous scrub beneath, and perennial and annual grasses and herbs in the field layer. In some traditions, there can even be small arable areas.
