Abstract
The vegetation of the Pescara pinewood. The littoral pinewood at Pescara, about 35 hectares wide, is entirely comprised within the urban environment of this city. It is a seminatural environment and its better preserved portion is a wood for which the phytosociological studies point out three main aspects: a) hygrophilous wood evolving towards Carici-Fraxinetum angustifoliae Pedrotti 1970 b) a mediterranean maquis type of vegetation; c) vegetation of Prunetalia spinosa type.
In the residual retrodunal sectors an impoverished garigue predominates. Pinus halepensis Miller is self-renovating in the open xerophilus areas, while it tends to disappear in the hygrophilous zones.
