The vertical forest structure was assessed by percentage cover of seven height. classes and the composition of the different layers was described using plant species, or groups of plant species, easily identifiable in the field. Cluster analysis, in particular K-means statistics, was performed using combinations of vertical structure and compositional data, resulting in ten main natural groups or forest types: 1) Quercus pyrenaica forests; 2) Other deciduous oak forests; 3) Arbutus unedo forests; 4) Cistus shrubs; 5) Cytisus shrubs; 6) Acacia forests; 7) Quercus suber forests; 8) Pinus pinaster forests; 9) Eucalyptus forests; and 10) Other forests. The last four groups were further subdivided according to the vertical structure resulting in twenty final forest types. The geographical distribution of these forests types and the implications for biodiversity and other forest issues are presented and discussed.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>7</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quézel, Pierre</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzoleni, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasquale, Gaetano Di</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martino, Paolo Di</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rego, F</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Large-Scale Post-Glacial Distribution of Vegetation Structures in the Mediterranean Region</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recent Dynamics of the Mediterranean Vegetation and Landscape</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">annual grasslands</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">broadleaved forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">circum-Mediterranean</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holocene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">matorrals and steppes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean flora</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mediterranean grasslands</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean vegetation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">post-glacial distribution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pre-steppe-forests (citation)</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd</style></publisher><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-12</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9780470093719</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This chapter contains sections titled: * Introduction * The Large-Scale Vegetation Structures * Conclusions * Acknowledgements</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
