Thank you for your feedback. I personally studying some historical Dehesa-like parkland landscapes in Northern Morocco (now extinct) and in Higher Atlas (Tadla-Azilal).
In Spain, I know the work of VICENTE and ALÉS (in Agroforestry Systems, 2006) on long term persistence of dehesas. I was hoping to get the reaction of colleagues who are currently working on this issue.
You may want to consult Tobias Plieninger about his dehesa study in
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=146613 . For my part, if you can furnish any leads to sources of info on the Algerian or Mirbeck Oak or chêne zène, Quercus canariensis, in North Africa I would be most grateful.
Currently we are working on dehesa in Andalusia (see attached). Further, for your consideration a somewhat older article from dehesa in Extremadura and the most recent historical overview I have come across.
Evidently, we are interest in your experience with P. cinnamomi in dehesa or otherwise in oak, if any.
