Turkey oaks
Explanation:
The definition of "rebollo" is Turkey oak. Apparently, from reading the text this is a literary translation. Therefore, if you want to maintain the same style as the author I would use Turkey oaks, not Turkey oaks forest because the author is describing the kinds of trees and he already mentioned in the first sentence 'pistas forestales' that the character(s) is passing through a region of different kinds of forests.

Good luck.

Quercus Pyrenaica (Pyrenean Oak, Black Oak)

The wood is often cross-grained. It is liable to the attack of worms. The timber is often knotty so is not a good wood for carpentry.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ficha Técnica:

Etimología: Quercus pyrenaica
Familia: 
 
Descripción: Este es€l roble más frecuente en Castilla y León, formando los bosques caducifolio más abundantes en la región. Presenta un tronco recto de corteza oscura y copa bastante amplia e irregular. Algunas raíces se disponen horizontalmente a ras de la superficie, pudiendo rebrotar desde ellas con gran facilidad, cualidad a la que alude su nombre común.
Sus hojas tienen 5-8 pares amplios e irregulares, lóbulos que alcanzan casi el nervio medio. Están forradas por una borra de pelos estrellados que las imprime una coloración verde grisácea, más blanquecina en el envés. Son caducas aunque en los ejemplares jóvenes y retoños permanecen secas sobre el árbol sin llegar a caer (hojas marcescentes)

Marojo o Roble de Turquía


Explanation:
Sorry it I seem very 'pesada', (I'm not after KudoZ points here!) but I don't want the wrong definition to be entered in the glossary. Rebollo is not Turkey Oak in English.

HTH


Sheila

According to my books these are the names commonly given to Quercus cerris and Quercus pyrenaica.



Quercus cerris = Turkey Oak

En castellano se dice Marojo o Roble de Turquía

http://www.floraguide.es/arboles/Quercuscerris.htm

En cambio, rebollo = Quercus pyrenaica = Pyrenean Oak

oak, oaks


Explanation:
Ok since obviously we have a conflict of sources and opinions on this I went back and read the passage, and then looked up the geographical region they refer to (Valdavía y Ojeda), since there are different varieties of oak and they are all typical of certain regions, so we want to know which species is the most common to this geographical area. After doing this I would suggest to just use the word OAKS without describing the species, since it is not mentioned in the original and none of us seem to agree.
