Rhytidome- and cork-type barks of holm oak, cork oak and their hybrids highlight processes leading to cork formation

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background The periderm is basic for land plants due to its protective role during radial growth, which is achieved by the polymers deposited in the cell walls.

Oak Persistence in Mediterranean Landscapes: The Combined Role of Management, Topography, and Wildfires [PDF]

Ecology and Society, 2010
Mediterranean ecosystems have been shaped by a history of human and ecological disturbances. Understanding the dynamics of these social-ecological systems requires an understanding of how human and ecological factors interact.

Hybrids between cork oak and holm oak: Isoenzyme analysis [PDF]

, 2003
Hybrids between cork oak and holm oak occur in a large range of overlap between these two species in Portugal, and the subsequent crosspollination involving the hybrids and cork oak has been postulated to result in some of the worst cork-producing trees

Natural selection on cork oak: allele frequency reveals divergent selection in cork oak populations along a temperature cline [PDF]

Evolutionary Ecology, 2010
A recent study of population divergence at neutral markers and adaptive traits in cork oak has observed an association between genetic distances at locus QpZAG46 and genetic distances for leaf size and growth.

Understory effect on tree and cork growth in cork oak woodlands

Forest Systems, 2018
Aim of study: Cork oak is one of the main forest tree species in Portugal that typically occurs in montado, where operational practices oriented to the tree, crop or animal management may influence several of the ecosystem components. This study aimed at
