Spatio-temporal development of suberized barriers in cork oak taproots.

open access: yesTree Physiology, 2021
The longevity and high activity of the cork cambium (or phellogen) from Quercus suber (cork oak) are the cornerstones for the sustainable exploitation of a unique raw material.

Locally adapted Arabidopsis thaliana accessions show transcriptomic plasticity in a multi‐timescale analysis of whole‐genome gene expression in a natural environment

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural Arabidopsis thaliana accessions showed remarkable plasticity in both life‐cycle phenology and whole‐genome gene expression patterns in in natura field experiments. Nevertheless, local adaptation in fitness‐related life‐history traits can also be detected at the whole‐genome gene expression level.

Is Cork Growth a Reliable Proxy for Stem Diameter Growth in Cork Oak (Quercus suber L.)? Implications for Forest Management under Climate Change in Mediterranean Regions

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Cork-ring widths have been extensively used in dendroecological studies assessing the relationship between cork growth patterns and climate (precipitation and temperature).

Rethinking social capital in wildfire resilience: the case of central Portugal

open access: yesDisasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This article explores the role of social capital in wildfire resilience and is based on case study research in central Portugal. Given the recent revival of the concept across disciplines to explain how communities can cope with hazards, we critically analyse social capital through a social network analysis perspective, introducing an ...

Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Climate effects on cork growth in Cork oak plantations in Sicily (Italy)

open access: yesForest@, 2009
Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) is usually dominant in silvopastoral systems in many areas of Sicily, where the trees are debarked periodically for cork production.

Is cork oak (Quercus suber L.) woodland loss driven by eucalyptus plantation? A case-study in southwestern Portugal

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2014
Mediterranean landscapes with open cork oak (Quercus suber L.) woodlands have recently experienced drastic changes in southwestern Portugal. Changes in agricultural activities, the traditional driver of the economy in this region, led to new land uses ...

Variation in cork production of the cork oak between two consecutive cork harvests [PDF]

open access: yesForestry, 2001
Summary The variation in the cork produced by individual trees (Quercus suber L.) in three distinct locations, Mora, Alcacer do Sal and Benavente, is characterized by measurements made during two consecutive harvests of cork in the same trees. Particular emphasis is given to the variability in the weight of cork produced by individual trees and its ...

Leaf decomposition of cork oak under three different land uses within a montado of southern Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This study compared litter decomposition dynamics of cork oak at three sites under different land-uses (grassland, shrubland and woodland), in a montado ecosystem in Southern Portugal.

How Large, Decayed, and Moist Must Rotting Logs Be to Act as Thermally Buffered Microhabitats in Temperate Eastern United States Forests?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.
