Resumo(s)
The holm oak woodlands as ecotonic phytocoenoses occur under different ecological
conditions, and frequently representing the climax of edaphoxerophilous series of crests and siliceous
rocky areas. In this paper we study the floristic, ecological, and biogeographical differences of the
edaphoxerophilous holm oak woodlands of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula, included in the
Querco rotundifoliae-Oleenion sylvestris suballiance. Our phytosociological (Braun–Blanquet methodology)
and numerical analysis (hierarchical cluster analysis) of three formerly described association
and our own samples lead us to propose a new association: Ulici argentei-Quercetum rotundifoliae,
growing mostly on semihyperoceanic Monchique Sierran Biogeographic District, on rocky slopes
and outcrops derived from schists and greywackes. Moreover, we present an overview of ecological
features and the diversity of plant communities occurring in the serial dynamic of the thermophile
holm oak woodlands of the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
