No legacy effects of severe drought on carbon and water fluxes in a Mediterranean oak forest
Plant Biology, EarlyView.A Mediterranean Quercus ilex forest was severely affected by a drought in 2017 but fully recovered in the following year, supported by favourable weather and growing conditions both before and after the event. Abstract Severe droughts affect vegetation through several processes, such as hydraulic failure, early leaf senescence, depletion of carbon ...

Global variability in hydraulic traits and water use strategies of mountain shrubs and dwarf shrubs
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Shrubs show a wide range of hydraulic strategies to achieve a balanced and favourable water status in mountain areas. Abstract Shrubs are perennial, multi‐stemmed woody plants whose adaptation to stress factors allows them to colonise extreme habitats, including high elevations. Accordingly, shrubs are one of the most important growth forms in mountain

The dual role of red deer in yellow rockrose seed dispersal and predation in Mediterranean Spain
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Red deer play a mostly antagonistic and predatory role on Cistus halimifolius seeds, but here, it has been demonstrated, for the first time, their overlooked mutualistic potential role as long distance disperser. Abstract Endozoochory, seed dispersal after animal ingestion, is a mutualistic plant–animal interaction that often involves substantial costs
