Vegetation series (types) relates to Benabid and Fennane (1994). VC%, vegetation cover for tree and shrub layers, estimated by following the Braun-Blanquet cover-abundance scale method (1964). Human disturbance was qualitatively estimated on four scales: 0: absent, 1: low, 2: medium, and 3: intense. GR, grafting (grafting on O. europaea subsp. europaea var. sylvestris); WC, wood cutting; GA, grazing; FI, fire frequency. The number of sampled sites is identical to Figure 1.
