Concept: Maquis in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/F5.2
Preferred label	Maquis
Definition	Evergreen sclerophyllous or lauriphyllous shrub vegetation, with a more or less closed canopy structure, and with few annuals, some geophytes and often scattered trees, some of which may be in shrub form. Unlike arborescent matorral, maquis is typically dominated by species that do not have the potential to grow into tall trees. In high maquis these may be [Arbutus] spp., [Erica arborea], [Erica scoparia], [Juniperus oxycedrus], [Phillyrea] spp. In low maquis, [Cistus] spp., [Erica] spp., [Genista] spp., [Lavandula] spp. may predominate.
