carvalho

Uma das árvores caducifólias mais importantes e difundidas da Europa, o carvalho-comum (Quercus robur) pode viver mais de 1.000 anos, atingir 40 metros de altura e abrigar a maior biodiversidade de qualquer espécie arbórea europeia: mais de 2.300 espécies de insetos, fungos, líquens, musgos e aves dependem diretamente de carvalhos maduros. Distribuído pela Europa até a Ásia ocidental em florestas temperadas, sua madeira dura e durável foi fundamental para a construção naval, a arquitetura e a fabricação de barris ao longo da história.
