Species composition and aerial biomass production were studied in representative sites of the subalpine region ( 1250-1950m) of mountain Pangeon in order to identify the types and subtypes of rangelands that occur there. They were identified 12 subtypes from which 8 were grasslands and 4 were shrublands. The aerial biomass production was greater on Ν, NW sites and lower on tops and S sites. It ranged from 140 g/m2 to 674g/m2. The grasslands of 1500- 1650 m elevation were the most productive.
