The ecomorphological characters that show meaningful differences between both types of vegetation are: location of renewal buds, spinescence, stratiﬁcation, maximum height of the vegetation, organs periodically shed, leaf consistency, leaf tomentosity, leaf size, and life duration of leaves, plant duration, vegetative regeneration after ﬁre, main vegetative growth season, main ﬂowering season and fruit type. The phenological phases also help to discern between forest and shrubland, specially ﬂower bud formation, fruiting, seed dispersal, and the existence of brachyblast vegetative growth and brachyblast leaf shedding. We propose three new indexes based on phenological phases: “active period of the species” (APS), “active period of the community” (APC) and “reproductive/vegetative activity of the species” (RVA). The results of their application, in combination with the ecomorphological characters, have proved promising in describing vegetation and in clearly differentiating communities. The results also show the existence of different ecomorphological groups of plants at community level, with consequent ecological, historical, phytocoenological and adaptive implications</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caldera, J M Nieto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Latorre, A V Pérez</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cabezudo, B</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Datos sobre la vegetación silicícola de Andalucia I.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta botánica malacitana</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cádiz</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork oak forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granada</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">holm oak forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Málaga</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">phytosociology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sevilla</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">siliceous soils</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">strawbwerry tree copses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">vegetation series</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1990</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">179-192</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">: The phytocenologic study about climatophilous vegetation series, which inhibat on siliceous soils in Málaga, Cádiz, Sevilla and Granada (Spain), has produced the identification of six vegetation series.
