T3A Mediterranean lowland to submontane Pinus forest
Evergreen coniferous forest dominated by various thermophilous pines: maritime pine (Pinus pinaster in the Western Mediterranean and winter-mild Atlantic regions), Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis), stone pine (Pinus pinea all around the Southern European coasts, and in some places also inland), and Aegean pine (Pinus brutia in Greece, Cyprus and Anatolia), the first three often favouring unstable substrates or pre-climax situations. All of these forests are fire-prone.
