Satellite Remote Sensing for Monitoring Cork Oak Woodlands—A Comprehensive Literature Review
DiversityCork oak (Quercus suber) woodlands hold significant ecological, cultural, and economic value in the Mediterranean basin, particularly due to cork production, one of the most valued non-wood forest products worldwide.

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT The combination of geographical factors (climate, slope, orientation, lithology, water availability, etc.) and the pathogenicity of agents such as the oomycete from the kingdom Straminopile Phytophthora or Pythium species causes the plant disease known as oak decline in the Iberian Peninsula. Leaving aside the presence of the pathogen, the aim

Variables influencing cork thickness in Spanish cork oak forests: A modelling approach [PDF]
Annals of Forest Science, 2007 In this study, we evaluate the influence of different variables on cork thickness in cork oak forests. For this purpose, first we fitted a multilevel linear mixed model for predicting average cork thickness, and then identified the explanatory covariates by studying their possible correlation with random effects.

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate‐Smart Agriculture: Current Status and Perspectives
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.This figure conceptualises a framework that integrates nature‐based solution (NbS) and circularity principles into agricultural systems, with life cycle assessment (LCA) as the quantitative backbone complemented by other economic and social assessments.

Climate effects on cork growth in Cork oak plantations in Sicily (Italy)
Forest@, 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.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.The populations of many deer species across Europe are widely reported to be increasing, leading to potentially greater impacts on forest ecosystems. Our understanding of factors driving the regional distribution (e.g. 1 km2 resolution) of deer populations is, however, often limited by a lack of knowledge of where deer are within the landscape.

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.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1015-1030, September 2026.We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.
