RT Journal Article T1 Current state of the Prunetalia spinosae communities in the centre and south of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) T2 L’état actuel des communautés spinosae Prunetalia dans le centre et le sud de la péninsuleibérique, Péninsule (Espagne, Portugal) A1 Cano Ortiz, Ana A1 Pinto Gomes, Carlos José A1 Quinto Canas, Ricardo A1 Vila Viçosa, Carlos A1 Rodríguez Torres, Alfonso A1 Redondo, M. Manuela AB This paper re-examines the Rhamno-Prunetea class in the centre and south of the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Andalusia. The paper also deals with the alliances Pruno-Rubion ulmifolii Lonicero-Berberidion hispanicae in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, and Berberidion vulgaris (Berberidenion seroi) in the area of Cuenca. Our analysis of 225 relevés arranged in 22 phytosociological tables helped us to re-organize the available information and subsequently propose three associations and two subassociations: Clematido vitalbae-Rosetum micranthae nova; Berberido hispanicae-Buxetum sempervirentis nova; Roso siculae-Berberidetum hispanicae Mota nova subas. prunetosum ramburii Mota nova; Lonicero arboreae-Rhamnetum cathartici Martínez-Parras and Molero Citation1983 subas. prunetosum ranburii nova. As a result of the study, a total of 18 syntaxa with the rank of association and four with the rank of subassociation are proposed for the south of the Iberian Peninsula.
