The Thyrrenian-Adriatic Sclerophyllous and Mixed Forests Ecoregion, in the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub Biome, is in southern Italy, Sicily, Corsica, and the Dalmatian Islands. ==Major forest zones== The Tyrrhenian-Adriatic Sclerophyllous and Mixed Forests ecoregion has four major forest zones. *The Tyrrhenian mixed oak forests are dominated by the sclerophyllous evergreen oak ''Quercus ilex'' and ''Quercus suber'', and by deciduous species such as ''Quercus pubescens'', ''Fraxinus ornus'', and ''Ostrya carpinifolia''. *Some surviving temperate deciduous oak woodlands, mainly of ''Quercus robur'', appear in coastal wetlands on the Italian peninsula and on the island of Corsica. Stone pine ''Pinus pinea'' is found on some coastal sand dunes. *The southeastern Italian woodlands, in the region of Apulia, contain the oak species ''Quercus trojana'' and ''Quercus macrolepis'', endemic in the Eastern Mediterranean, together with the evergreen holm oak ''Quercus ilex'' and the deciduous oak ''Quercus pubescens''. The Aleppo pine ''Pinus halepensis'' is also found in such woodlands. *The islands of Dalmatia are dominated by Aleppo pine ''Pinus halepensis'' and holm oak ''Quercus ilex''. A relict and endemic pine, ''Pinus nigra'' ''dalmatica'' also occurs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tyrrhenian-Adriatic sclerophyllous and mixed forests」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
