Meso- and supra-Mediterranean Pinus salzmannii var. pyrenaica forests of Pyrenean foothills; they are extensive in the southeastern foothills, with outposts in the central foothills, in Catalonian ranges and, very locally, on the north side of the range (Valley of the Têt, Conflent). The understorey is formed by the cortège of Quercus ilex (Juniperus oxycedrus, Rosmarinus officinalis, Quercus ilex) at low altitudes, and by that of Quercus pubescens (Buxus sempervirens, Juniperus communis, Amelanchier ovalis, Cornus sanguinea, Lonicera etrusca) at higher altitudes.
