Thermo-Mediterranean heaths
Description (English)
Closed formations of heather, gorse and halimium constituting the extensive "monte negro" of the Coto Doñana; alternating with the xerophile "monte blanco" (unit F5.5A1), they occupy deep, sandy, oligotrophic soils with a water table close to the surface; their composition includes an admixture of thermo-Mediterranean and Atlantic heath species together with local endemics. Particularly characteristic in the Guadalquivir area, they are locally represented north to the Sado-Tago river area of coastal Portugal.
