Abstract

Mixed forests of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) and holm-oak (Quercus ilex) cover a great part of Northeastern Spain. Nevertheless, little is known about their structure, dynamics and regeneration. For some years, a research group in CREAF has collected data about those aspects, in order to use them to develop models that could be used as a tool for forest management. Previous results obteined about the structure of these stands are presented in the present paper.
