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 […]

Mycorrhization patterns along an environmental gradient

Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a mutualist association between plants and fungi which may be critical under stressful environmental conditions, like in Mediterranean forests constrained by water stress and resource scarcity.

Researchers of the IRNAS-CSIC and the University of Córdoba have studied how the degrees of colonization by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal […]

El decaimiento del alcornoque y sus consecuencias sobre la regeneración del bosque

The predicted increase of tree decline episodes as a consequence of temperature rise could have an important impact in forest regeneration dynamics, and therefore in the future composition of forests.

A research team in the IRNAS, with the collaboration of the University of Basel (Switzerland), has studied how cork oak (Q. […]
