Drivers of Productivity Trends in Cork Oak Woodlands over the Last 15 Years
Remote Sensing, 2016 Higher biodiversity leads to more productive ecosystems which, in turn, supports more biodiversity. Ongoing global changes affect ecosystem productivity and, therefore, are expected to affect productivity-biodiversity relationships.

Growth modeling in complex forest systems: CORKFITS a tree spatial growth model for cork oak woodlands [PDF]
, 2011 Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) woodlands (montado) consist of a multifunctional forest system that covers about 713,000 ha in Portugal. Today, its importance stems from cork production, with Portugal producing half of the cork in the world.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Wine yeasts play a central role in alcoholic fermentation and significantly contribute to the sensory attributes of wines through cellular autolysis during lees aging (sur lie), especially in white wines. This process releases organic compounds that alter the wine's chemical and sensory profile.
