Pseudomaquis

Pseudomaquis, sometimes qualified as Submediterranean pseudomaquis,^[1] are thickets of broadleaf shrubs and small trees, forming the transition vegetation between Mediterranean forests or shrublands and temperate forests.^[2] Consisting of both deciduous and evergreen plants, these thickets are found at higher altitudes near typical Mediterranean climates in Spain, Italy and southern France, in warmer, sub-Mediterranean regions of the Balkans, and in humid temperate regions affected by deforestation, such as northern Turkey and central France.^{[3][4][5][6][7]}
