This work is settled in the context of the Project "Characterization, Cartography and Evaluation of Spanish pastures" (INIA-CCAA OTOO-037-C17). Results of the characterization, cartography and evaluation by means of the phytocenologic and cartographic units established by authors, the II National Forestry Inventory (DGCN, 1996) and the Forestry Map of Spain (DGCN, 2001) are presented. Considering the dominant species provided by the last mentioned work and the phytosociological characterizations, type-inventories are established, which allow an estimation of the pasture production. In this work the "genista type" have been typified as shrub pastures of Helianthemo italici-Aphyllanthion monspeliensis and the "rosemary type" as shrub pastures of Rosmarino-Ericion multiflorae. There have been cartographied 230.657 ha of "genista type" and 127.879 ha of "rosemary type". They have been evaluated in 529 y 313 FU [Forage Units]/ha/year respectively, meaning a total annual production of about 122.000.000 and 40.000.000 FU respectively.

Este trabajo se enmarca en el ámbito del Proyecto "Tipificación, Cartografía y Evaluación de los Pastos Españoles"(INIA-CCAA OTOO-037-C17), aportándose resultados a partir del establecimiento de unidades fitocenológicas y cartográficas, el II Inventario Forestal Nacional (DGCN, 1996) y las especies dominantes del Mapa Forestal de España (DGCN, 2001). Se establecen inventarios-tipo que permiten la estimación de la producción de los pastos. Se tipifican aquí los "liagares" como unos pastos arbustivos de Helianthemo italici-Aphyllanthion monspeliensis y los "romerales" como unos pastos arbustivos de Rosmarino-Ericion multiflorae. Se han cartografiado 230.657 ha de aliagares y 127.879 ha de romerales, valorándose en 529 y 313 UF/ha/año respectivamente, lo que implica una producción total anual de unas 122.000.000 y 40.000.000 UF respectivamente.
