Abstract
Most of the research on holm oak forests described in this book was conducted in two mountain locations in Catalonia, northeast Spain: the Montseny mountains and the Prades mountains (Fig. 2.1). Both massifs belong to the Catalan precoastal range, a chain of mid-sized mountains paralleling the Mediterranean seaboard of Catalonia, 20–30 km from the coast. Both Montseny and Prades are extensively forested. The distance between them is 120 km.
