Abstract

This study analyses thorny woodland-fringe communities of the deciduous woodlands of the south-western Cantabro-Atlantic Sub-Province (coasts of Galicia, Spain), particularly those situated in the thermotemperate belt and showing greater oceanality, floristically manifested by the presence of Ulex gr. europaeus, and Mediterranean influence. Comparative study of these communities allows identification of a new association, Asparago aphylli-Prunetum spinosae.

Résumé

On analyse les communautés épineuses qui ourlent les forêts à feuilles caduques de la façade cantabro-atlantique méridionale (côtes de la Galice, Espagne), particulièrement celles de l'étage thermotempéré et présentant un caractère océanique marqué attesté par la présence d'Ulex gr. europaeus et une influence méditerranéenne. L'étude comparative de ces communautés permet l'individualisation d'une nouvelle association (Asparago aphylli-Prunetum spinosae).
