Adults and saplings size in each sampled plot.

Cover area was calculated measuring maximum and minimum canopy diameters. Values are shown as mean ± standard error. DBH: diameter at breast height.aHeight was not recorded for J. communis, as it presents a prostrate growth form.bBasal diameter was not quantified for the two Juniperus species due to measurement difficulties and to the common multi-trunk growth pattern.cMaximum and minimum canopy diameters were measured to calculate the canopy cover area.
