Carbon storage in degraded cork oak (Quercus suber) forests on flat lowlands in Morocco
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016 The present study aims to quantify the carbon stored in a degraded cork oak (Quercus suber L.) ecosystem in the north west of Morocco, in view of potential management implications. To this end, carbon stocks were evaluated in the first 100 cm of the soil,

Cork Oak Production Estimation Using a Mask R-CNN
Energies, 2022 Cork is a versatile natural material. It can be used as an insulator in construction, among many other applications. For good forest management of cork oaks, forest owners need to calculate the volume of cork periodically.

Cork cells in cork oak periderms undergo programmed cell death and proanthocyanidin deposition [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2021 AbstractVascular plants with secondary growth develop a periderm mostly composed of dead suberized cork cells to face environmental hostile conditions. Cork oak has a highly active and long-living phellogen forming a remarkably thick periderm that is periodically debarked for industrial purposes.
