Natural regeneration in cork oak forests affected by decline

In the last decades widespread tree decline and mortality has been documented in forests worldwide. Trajectories of forest recovery and the probability of occurrence of permanent vegetation shifts are to a large extent determined by post-mortality regeneration dynamics.

A research team in the IRNAS, CSIC has studied the potential long term […]

¿Por qué la producción de semillas es tan variable en las especies mediterráneas de Quercus?

Understanding the proximate factors that govern the widespread mast-seeding process (i.e., the large interannual variability in seed production) is a question of considerable ecological and evolutionary interest that remains poorly understood. The identity and effect of these factors may vary among coexisting species that differ in leaf habit, potentially resulting in temporally asynchronous patterns of […]
