VOLVER BACK RETOUR RETOUR FLORA FLORA FLORA FLORA EL BOSQUE: En el Hierro, al igual que en el resto de las Canarias, encontramos una gran cantidad de especies vegetales endémicas, propias del Archipiélago o exclusivas de esta isla. A pesar de su escasa extensión (287 km2) y juventud geológica, la altitud de la isla combinada con la influencia de las nubes del alisio en las vertientes de barlovento, determinan una amplia diversidad bioclimática, con pisos característicos, a los que se asocian diversas comunidades climatófilas canarias, que de costa a cumbre son: el tabaibal dulce, el cardonal, el sabinar, el monteverde y el pinar. The Forests In El Hierro, as well as in the other Canary Islands, there are a great variety of endemic plant species unique to the archipelago or sometimes exclusive to just one island. In the highest areas there are magnificent evergreen woods, the remains of the forests which existed long ago, full of laurel, ferns and mosses. The Fayal is the zone in which the ilex and beech trees can be found, while the cedar is a classic example of flora introduced by man. The extensive conifer forest is said to be one of the most spectacular in the archipelago with numerous Canarian Pine trees (Pinus Canariensis). PFLANZENWELT: Wie auf den anderen kanarischen Inseln gedeihen auch El Hierro zahlreiche endemisce Gewächse, die nur auf Archipel oder sogar allein auf dieser Insel zu finden sind. In den höheren Zonen wachsen herrliche Feuchtwälder. Es handelt sich um Überreste der ehemalig vorherrschenden Wälder mit verschiedenen Farnkräutern, Moosen und Lorbeergattungen. Der Nebelwald, der so genante Fayal, besteht aus Baumheiden und Gagelbaumen, während die Eukalyptusbäume ein klassisches Beispiel einer von Menschenhand eingeführter Vegetation sind.
