Abstract
The main factor of the geography of the Teide National Park scrub is the geomorphology and the features of the oriental atrium domes lava flows of Las Cañadas constitute a magnificent example of this relationship. The morphologic structure of these lava flows is variable and it determines different microtopography and different superficial grains that hinder or they favours, according to the cases, the plant colonization and always condition the characteristics of the scrub. The result is a complex mosaic of vegetation types differed by its level of continuity, its covering degree, its plant composition and the relative importance of the represented better taxons.
