The pine floor develops between 500 meters (downwind) or 1,200 (to windward) and goes up to 2,000 meters. It is therefore more developed leeward to windward, leeward areas occupied in the laurel is absent due to a little rain. Also, found on the slopes that have a higher risk of stroke and some frost. Is present in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma and El Hierro. Canary Island pine forests form the largest forest patches on the islands. The Canary Island pine is the dominant species, and almost exclusively, because the understory is very poor. The Canary Island pine is characterized by its resistance to fire, an evolutionary adaptation in a volcanic archipelago.
