Concordo. E esse é o primeiro «Yellowstone ibérico» de Portugal que conheço.
Na Rússia:

Belém, conheces a raça algarvia? Penso que está praticamente extinta e só existe uma fêmea

Acho ainda mais, seguramente en periodos calidos desapareceran os abetos de Portugal, mais hoje fico seguro que o pinsapo podería ser especie a desarrollar en planes de reforestaçao, en areas como as Sierras do Algarve.
E moito posivel pois a latitude do pinsapo en España e mesma que o Algarve.
Serra de Monchique é um bom local para a reintrodução do Abies pinsapo.
Penso que estes mapas utilizam como bases poucas estações meteorológicas em Portugal.
Se houvessem mais estações nas nossas montanhas e nos nossos vales, os resultados ainda seriam melhores.
The map is too small I understand that the red colours indicate optimum growth for each species. Where did you get the map. Note that Abies alba is native in the Pyrenees only. I don't think it was ever native in Portugal. As you know by now "nativity" to me as an emotional and not a scientific way of looking at things. It is meaningless, so I don't mind!
But can you give me a link of the map?
100% honest Duero: I have pinsapo seeds and was thinking of simply doing it myself. PInsapo BTW grows well over here, but it can die back in severe winters. Does not seem to be hardy....This is also true for Picea sitchensis BTW, a tree from the NW pacific that in severe winters tends to die back (to my amazement). We are talking -25 C here so it is pretty rare....
Now Pinsapo being a Grazalema tree and reading many research about it in my view the Serra do Monchique is still too warm and dry. In my view, the best place (also with continuing warming) this means Serra da Estrela e melhor.
How do you btw combine this with your dislike of other introductions like Eucalyptus? D not underestimate it. I can tell you that Abies grandis right in the woods over here has extremely aboundant regeneration! I personally like it a lot and so do the deer and rabbits after a cold winter where there was nothing to eat because of snowcover/frost. But Abies grandis gets as dense as 20-40 seedlings per m2 in places. Fine with me, but what i Pinsapo would do the same in its new environment.
Finally we see Abies alba being hit in NW France (it is getting too warm there). Indeed Pinsapo could be introduced there aswell, although I would prefer Grandis.
