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

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.

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

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)
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.

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]
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]
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.

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.
