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

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1046-1060, September 2026.Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Perceiving Vegetation From Social Positions: Discourses on Plants in a Mediterranean Landscape
Sociology Lens, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 362-375, September 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding how vegetation is perceived, named and valued requires attention to the social positions from which these perceptions are produced. This article analyses vegetation perception from different social positions based on qualitative research conducted in the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), a Mediterranean landscape characterized

Detecting Chestnut Ink Diseases Through the Dog's Sense of Smell: From Laboratory to Forest
Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.Canine olfactory abilities were used to distinguish chestnut ink disease caused by Phytophthora spp. A trained detection dog, conditioned with polymer tubes carrying pathogen‐derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs), first detected Phytophthora‐infected roots under controlled conditions and then in chestnut orchards, demonstrating a non‐invasive ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 8986-9007, 15 August 2026.ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Formation of acutissimin A in red wine through the contact with cork
OENO One, 2006 This study shows that when cork material gets in contact with wine, the elagitannins which exist in the cork material (namely one called vescalagin) react with the catechins present in the wine, producing, among others, Acutissimin A, which is an anti ...

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1641-1656, August 2026.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.
