Newly Discovered Seed Dispersal System of Juniperus cedrus Questions the Pristine Nature of the High Elevation Scrub of El Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands)

2014-11-01

Abstract excerpt

As a working hypothesis, we examined evidence for the former presence of a climacic woodland of Juniperus cedrus above the pine forest in the high elevation area of Tenerife (Canary Islands), which would indicate that the current dominant vegetation (endemic Spartocytisus supranubius scrub) may not be pristine. The main causes of the great regression of this woodland were caused by human activities (timber harvest...
