The main tree species associated wi

The main tree species associated with livestock rearing are chestnuts, poplars, hard
wood plantations, Mediterranean oaks, pines and fruit plantations. These form either
native or planted stands, with chestnut forests in mountain areas, poplars and hard
wood plantations (including especially cherry, walnut, oaks of temperate climates) in
the plains, Mediterranean oaks in the plains and low hills, pines in mountains or near
to the coasts according to the different species, fruit plantations of various species
(including olives and vines, especially Citrus and hazelnut in the south) are common in
flat, hilly and mountainous areas (fruits of temperate climates). The Mediterranean
maquis becomes part of agro-silvo-pastoral systems over large areas (Talamucci and
Chaulet 1989), though a few exotic species have been planted in flat or mountain
areas.
