These forests have several dominant pine species including Pinus pinaster and P. umbellicata; broadleaf canopy species may also occur such as Holm oak. The geology landscape consists of a very complex lithological composition. Mesozoic dolomite and calimestone predominate in the eastern massifs; other important substrates are sandstone, marl, and conglomerates..
