Sumario:The hay meadows in the Mediterranean region of Catalonia. Geobotanical characterisation, agri-environmental assessment, and study of the phytosociological relationships between hay meadows in Western Europe We locate and describe geobotanically and agro-environmentally the hay meadows in the Mediterranean region of Catalonia and the surrounding Central European region, one of the traditional crops with the greatest cultural, agricultural and natural interest of Catalonia. The text is structured into 5 chapters. 1. Introduction: We clarify and define nomenclatural aspects of the term “prats de dall” (hay meadow) and we explain the historical evolution of the meadow area in the Catalan Mediterranean region, from its origins to the present. 2. Mapping: We delimit the study area and describe the geobotanical characteristics of each inventory meadow. 3. Flora: We present the floral catalogue of the hay meadows in the study area (809 taxa, 17 are new for the flora of Catalonia). 4. Vegetation: We study the syntaxa of the study area geobotanically and compare them with the rest of the meadows in Western Europe. We analyze 211 syntaxa and characterize 80 (30 new). 5. Meadow management: We indicate the main agricultural and livestock techniques for maintaining, improving and restoring the hay meadows in the study area.
