T21 Mediterranean evergreen Quercus forest
Forest dominated by evergreen broadleaved oaks (most widely Quercus ilex) with associated sclerophyllous and laurophyllous trees and shrubs in the summer-drought climate of the Mediterranean lowlands and foothills. The tree canopy is often low and much modified, with widespread transitions to maquis/matorral and open dehesa/montado wood pasture.
