We studied the Quercus rotundifolia Lam. formations in the central-southern Iberian Peninsula, working particularly in areas in the Rondeño and
Subbético biogeographical sectors. As a result we propose two new plant associations with an edaphoxeric character: Bupleuro gibraltarici-Quercetum
rotundifoliae; and Junipero phoeniceae-Quercetum rotundifoliae included in habitat 9340. In both formations there is a high number of endemic
plants often found in habitat 8210 "Calcareous rocky slopes with chasmophytic vegetation" like Antirrhinum graniticum, Antirrhinum onubense,
Saxifraga reuteriana, Cerastium gibraltaricum

A study was made of waterlogged areas in C-W Spain, and revealed the presence of the alliance Genistion micrantho-anglicae, and a series of associations
belonging to Isoeto-Nanojuncetea included in habitat 3170*. This work describes the new association Ericetum scopario-lusitanicae in
Genistion micrantho-anglicae, and assigns it to habitat 4020*. Due to the importance of these areas, we study their state of conservation and analyse
their diversity by applying Shannon’s index and establishing a relationship between the characteristic and companion species abundance in the community.
The analysis of the diversity and state of conservation of the sampled plots at a global scale over the whole territory shows a conservation
level of VmCa-VmCo > 0. However the study of individual plots reveals a trend towards the transformation of heathland into plant communities of
Molinia caeruelea, Junxcus acutiflorus, Pteridium aquilinum and Rubus ulmifolius
