摘要：Author Mohamed Laaidi GDR Climat et Santé, Faculté de médecine, 7, boulevard Jeanne-d’Arc 21033 Dijon cedex, France Page(s) : 21-8 Published in: 1997 Quercus coccifera is a common plant species in southern France, i.e. It is widely distributed in the regions of Languedoc and Provence, with some extensions into Roussillon. This oak grows on calcareous substratum, sometimes on silica, and requires very specific climatic and moisture conditions for its growth and distribution. A correspondence analysis of our data highlighted that this oak species flourishes in areas with little rain, and is relatively susceptible to extremely low minimum temperatures (which, with long-term exposure, can destroy the plant). A study of water balance at some sites clearly revealed its high tolerance and adaptation to drought, in terms of both its climatic and moisture needs. This species can withstand extreme water deficits, low usable water reserves and shallow usable soil loyers.
