El massís del Montseny és un espai d’alt interès natural i forestal, on trobem la presència de boscos de Quercus petraea (roure de fulla gran), un arbre caducifoli eurosiberià que creix a l’estatge montà del massís. Alhora, en aquest estatge, també hi ha boscos de Quercus ilex (alzina), que creixen al costat de la roureda. Al paratge de Marmolers,...
Map of Catalan Habitats. Interpretation Manual.
This is the interpretation Manual of the Map of Catalan habitats, a project in which 85 sheets that totally or partially cover Catalan territory were created and digitised (1998 - 2003). The key to the maps is based on the list of CORINE habitats. The map can be consulted and downloaded from internet....
New interpretation of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) forest of northern Catalanidic territory (NE Iberian Peninsula)
We propose a new phytosociological and physiognomic interpretation of the forests of pedunculate oak and narrow-leaved ash forests, situated in the plain of La Selva and in the Alt Maresme area (northern Catalanidic territory, N...

El boix (Buxus sempervirens) és un element important del paisatge vegetal de les comarques de Girona, ja que forma les boixedes i és dominant en l’estrat arbustiu de diversos hàbitats forestals. Actualment, aquesta espècie es troba greument amenaçada a causa de l’impacte de la plaga de la papallona del boix (Cydalima perspectalis). Aquest lepidòpte...

The sessile oak forests found on the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula are ascribed to the Lathyro-Quercetum
petraeae association and play a key role in understanding the ecology of this habitat, as this region represents its xeric limit. For this reason, we analysed the biodiversity patterns and current conservation status of the sessile oak fore...

On 3, 4 and 5 July 2019, the 12th International Colloquium on Pyrenean and Cantabrian Botany was held in Girona, at the Cultural Centre of the Provincial Council of Girona (Catalonia, Spain). This cross-border scientific meeting gathered together 52 experts in different botany-related disciplines: floristic studies, taxonomy (plants, lichens and fu...
The small islands in the Mediterranean basin play an important role in its diversity because they have very unique natural habitats. They are very vulnerable to the direct and indirect effects of human activity, which severely impact ecosystems. Our study analysed the dynamics of the vegetation over recent years on one small island in an attempt to...

The sessile oak (Quercus petraea) is a deciduous tree with a Euro‑Siberian distribution.
It is widely spread throughout Europe and (as with other Euro‑Siberian species that
constitute the Lathyro montani‑Quercetum petraeae plant community) its southern‑most
distribution limit can be found on the Iberian Peninsula. Most of the sessile oak forests
on...

A la comarca del Baix Empordà s’hi fan una seixantena de plantes que podem qualificar de rares: en les poques poblacions que tenen el nombre d’individus és baix i, per tant, són en clar perill de desaparèixer.
La pèrdua de diversitat vegetal i animal és un dels problemes de l’anomenat canvi global i malauradament el Baix Empordà no n’és una excepci...
The adaptation of the catalog of biotopes in the European Union (CORINE Biotopes Manual) in Catalonia led to a list of existing habitats in the region. This Manual seeks to theoretically interpret this habitats and to enable them to be easily identified in practice.

While the sessile oak (Quercus petraea) may be widely distributed across Europe, it is somewhat rare on the NE Iberian Peninsula, its southern distribution and xeric limit. Understanding the relationship this forest has with not only climate factors but also with past human activity is important. This study aims to analyze the species composition a...
Aims
Our aims were 3-fold: (i) to determine whether global change has altered the composition and structure of the plant community found in the sessile oak forests on the NE Iberian Peninsula over the last decades, (ii) to establish whether the decline in forest exploitation activities that has taken place since the mid-20th century has had any eff...

Litterfall plays a key role in the dynamic of forest ecosystems, ultimately determining forest productivity and carbon and nutrient cycling. Increasing our understanding on the role of structural and environmental factors controlling litterfall amount and seasonality is of paramount importance for modelling and estimating soil carbon sequestration...
Les espècies invasores, són una de les problemàtiques ambientals més importants de l’actualitat. En el cas dels rius, els hidròfits invasors són molt prolífics i difícils de controlar, ja que la pròpia dinàmica fluvial, acostuma facilitar la dispersió d’aquestes especies, essent molt difícil de gestionar. En el cas de la conca del Ter destaquen tre...
We demonstrate the validity of the Arrhenatherion elatioris Koch 1926 based on the indirect reference Scherrer (1925), and we choose it as the preferential name to its homonym Arrhenatherion elatioris Luquet 1926 nom. illeg. (art. 31). Our choice is because the nomenclatural type of the Arrhenatherion Koch, Arrhenatheretum elatioris Scherrer 1925,...

There is a distribution limit of sessile oak (Quercus petraea) in the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula, with its southernmost populations located at the xeric limit for the species. We present here the current distribution of these populations in the Montseny Massif (N.E. Catalonia) and how the surface area they cover has developed over the l...
