Morphological traits of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) needles in native and planted stands at the southern edge of its range influence oviposition behaviour of the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa).

Ecophysiological variables influencing Aleppo pine seed and cone production: a review [PDF]
The most interesting factors associated with seed and cone production of Aleppo pine were largely reviewed to identify broad patterns and potential effectiveness of reforestation efforts and planning. Aleppo pine cone production and seed yields are relatively variable, with differences between spatial and temporal influences.

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Abstract The Industrial Revolution triggered rural abandonment in Europe and had a profound impact on land configuration and ecosystem dynamics, mainly the growth of forests at the expense of open agricultural habitats. However, rural abandonment has been asynchronous in space and time, depending on regional socio‐economic dynamics.

Soil microbiological properties and enzymatic activities of long-term post-fire recovery in dry and semiarid Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis M.) forest stands [PDF]
Wildfires affecting forest ecosystems and post-fire silvicultural treatments may cause considerable changes in soil properties. The capacity of different microbial groups to recolonise soil after disturbances is crucial for proper soil functioning.

Forest Reburns Are Integral to Southern Europe's Disturbance Regimes
ABSTRACT Aim Fire disturbances are integral to fire‐prone landscapes of southern Europe. While evidence of changing fire frequency has been documented, the dynamics of forest reburns—defined as previously burned areas that ignite again within intervals shorter than the historical range with which forests ecologically evolved—remain largely unexplored ...

ABSTRACT Aim Studies assessing changes in vegetation with climate change have not separated atmospheric and water shortage stresses, although they drive different vegetation patterns in relation to continentality, water balance and bedrock types. We aim to assess how these two stresses will likely impact forest communities.

In a climate change scenario, Mediterranean forest species such as pines may be endangered by rising temperatures and reduced precipitation, thus calling for studies on the transpiration and water balance in pines.

Structure and Management of Aleppo Pine Forests
The authors analyze the most prevalent structural types in Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) forests on the Upper Ionian Coast in the Province of Cosenza in order to evaluate the evolutionary dynamics resulting from silvicultural treatments and the forest fires that plague this area.
