The sessile oak Quercus petraea is widespread in Central Europe. The populations in the NE Iberian
Peninsula are at the southernmost limit of the species range, in the most Mediterranean-type conditions and
at the xeric limit. The results of study show that the community species composition has been altered since
the second half of the 20th century, but in slightly different ways in each region. The sessile oak forest is
recovering from the change in forest use, and the Montseny Massif is the best example of this dynamic. For
some oak forests, however, such as those in the Montnegre natural park, climate change poses an uncertain
future. For this reason, it is important to take advantage of climatic refuges of these species as reservoirs
and places where the habitat can be preserved
