Climatological study of the central french Pyrenees. Some valleys (Neste d'Aure, Bave de Pau) show a slightly continental climate and their vegetation and flora present Pinos sylvestris, Quereos petraea (in mountain level) while the beech groves and fir forests are mainly mesophilous or mesoxerophilous; at the subalpine level, Pinos uncinata and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi are predominant with dry open pastures.
Other damper valleys (Adour, Bareges) contain more hygrophilous beech groves and fir forests and not Pinos sylvestris and Quereos petraea; Betula pubescens, Pinos uncinata and Rhododendron ferrugineum are then of a primordial importance at the subalpine level with damp grasslands.
In the northern lowlands (hill-level) of the central Pyrenees Quereos robur is the most important oak, but other treelike species also live in this atlantic region: Quereos petraea, Q.pyrenaica, Q. pubescens and Carpinus betulus.
