East Mediterranean wild olive-locust tree forests (Ceratonia siliqua, Olea oleaster) and kermes oak-mastic tree scrub (Pistacia lentiscus, Quercus coccifera), partly in combination with Pinus brutia-forests, with Cyclamen graecum, Teucrium divaricatum
Description
Semi-natural stands are not known. Hypothetically this is an evergreen, multi-layered forest consisting of Olea oleaster, Pistacia lentiscus, Ceratonia siliqua, Quercus coccifera, with varying participation of Pinus brutia or Pinus halepensis depending on the depth of the soil. Pistacia lentiscus and Quercus coccifera are anthropozoogenically over-represented in the current substitute scrub vegetation.
