Heathland on young acid soils on a slope of Los Alcornocales Natural Park

by Antonio Jordán, University of Seville, Sevilla, Spain

Heathland on summits and ridges of Los Alcornocales Natural Park (Cádiz, SW Spain) are known locally as "herriza" (from Spanish word "hierro" for iron), because of the reddish soil.
