Cork oak and the environment
The cork oak was crowned European Tree of the Year in 2018.
The trees grow in regions that are often plagued by drought and has low requirements in terms of soil conditions. Since few tree species can thrive in such barren regions, the cork oak is almost unrivaled, resulting in large cork oak forests. Most are found in Portugal and Spain. The stocks in Portugal currently cover around 750,000 hectares and form an important ecosystem for many animals and plants. The cork oaks are an important source of shade, a larder, and at the same time protect large areas from soil erosion.
The cork oak forests bind large amounts of CO2 over many years and thus make an enormous contribution to the positive ecological balance of cork products.
