This work is settled in the context of the Project "Characterization, Cartography and Evaluation of Spanish pastures" (INIA-CCAA OTOO-037-C17). Results of the characterization, cartography and evaluation by means of the phytocenologic and cartographic units established by authors, the II National Forestry Inventory (DGCN, 1996) and the Forestry Map of Spain (DGCN, 2001) are presented. Considering the dominant species provided by the last mentioned work and the phytosociological characterizations, type-inventories are established, which allow an estimation of the pasture production. In this work the "kermes-oak type" have been typified as shrub pastures of Rhamno lycioidis-Quercion cocciferae and the "spiny shrub" as shrub pastures of Berberidion vulgaris, making a mosaic of 23.023 ha in the area. A mean production of 97 FU [Forage Unitys]/ha/year has been calculated, amounting a total annual production of about 2.235.000 FU.

Este trabajo se enmarca en el ámbito del Proyecto "Tipificación, Cartografía y Evaluación de los Pastos Españoles" (INIA-CCAA OTOO-037-C17), aportándose resultados a partir del establecimiento de unidades fitocenológicas y cartográficas, el II Inventario Forestal Nacional (DGCN, 1996) y las especies dominantes del Mapa Forestal de España (DGCN, 2001). Se establecen inventarios-tipo que permiten la estimación de la producción de los pastos. Se tipifican aquí los "coscojares" como unos pastos arbustivos de Rhamno lycioidis-Quercion cocciferae y los "espinares caducifolios" como unos pastos arbustivos de Berberidion vulgaris, formando un mosaico que ocupa en la zona 23.023 ha. La producción media se ha calculado en tan sólo 97 UF [Unidades Forrajeras]/ha/año, lo que implica una producción total anual de unas 2.235.000 UF.
