Résumé :	In this study, the distribution area of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) in Greece is characterized from a climatic and bioclimatic point of view. Furthermore, population dynamics according to the local climate are described. The data were derived from a 26 meteorological stations network covering the distribution area of the species. Based on the results it may be suggested that, the annual precipitation ranges from 364 to 1 097 mm and is characterized by a monthly regime that varies according to the geographical area. The factors that can explain the distribution of Aleppo pine in Greece are the mean minimum temperature of the coldest month (m) which varies from 3.3 to 7.1 degrees C, the temperature range (M-m) which varies from 22.8 to 30.2 degrees C, the dry period which varies from 3.5 to 6 months and the bioclimate type (semiarid to humid). By intercrossing these climatic parameters, the species' distribution may be divided into four units (sub-regions). The climate may explain the population dynamics within these sub-regions.
